ENI6MA a Cryptographic Engine for Zero-Knowledge Proofs Across Modalities

ENI6MA is not just an authentication platform—it is a next-generation proof infrastructure. At its core lies a novel cryptographic primitive, the Rosario–Wang Proof of Information Entanglement, a high-dimensional, zero-knowledge protocol that transforms human-memorable inputs into reusable, carrier-agnostic cryptographic proofs.

This architecture enables secure identity, data integrity, and authorization—without storing secrets, revealing credentials, or requiring specialized hardware. ENI6MA functions as a layer-zero trust substrate for post-quantum ecosystems, redefining authentication as an epistemic act, not a secret exchange.


RWP Accumulator with Lower Dimensional Witnesses

The Rosario-Wang Accumulator cypher employs a novel approach to cryptographic accumulators, leveraging the Holographic Morphism with private languages. This cypher uses a set of enumerated alphabets with equal cardinality to create witnesses, ensuring efficient and secure membership proofs.

Witnesses in the cypher are lower-dimensional references that are expanded after determining the holographic morphism. This morphism identifies a subset of the projective alphabet sets containing character members of another alphabet, whose members are distributed equally across the new lower-dimensional projective set. The higher-dimensional set contains a larger number of members, representing the individual members of the secret key, from which the witness is provided in any ithi^{\text{th}} round of a sigma protocol.

Key Definitions

The Accumulator cypher defines the projective set Π\Pi as a set containing elements arranged in a lower-dimensional space, which expands to identify specific subsets through holographic morphisms. The holographic morphism H\mathcal{H} is a hidden morphism linking two alphabets that have no intersection. This morphism is used to expand lower-dimensional witnesses. The lower-dimensional representation process maps higher-dimensional members of an alphabet into lower-dimensional projective sets.

pkχ=HoloMorphism(νik)forχΞ\text{pk}_\chi = \text{HoloMorphism}(\nu_{i_k}) \quad \text{for} \quad \chi \in \Xi Π={νi1,νi2,,νir}\Pi = \{\nu_{i_1}, \nu_{i_2}, \ldots, \nu_{i_r}\}

Interactive Cypher Setup

In the setup phase, the projective set Π\Pi is defined to model the domain MM. A synonym relation to the emergent set is established via a hidden morphism.

During the accumulation phase, the short representation AccΞ\text{Acc}_\Xi of the set XX is created, partitioning it into subsets that form the basis of the projective set:

AccΞ={Π=(νi1,νi2,,νir),  Ω=(νj1,νj2,,νjr)}\text{Acc}_\Xi = \bigl\{\Pi = (\nu_{i_1}, \nu_{i_2}, \ldots, \nu_{i_r}),\; \Omega = (\nu_{j_1}, \nu_{j_2}, \ldots, \nu_{j_r})\bigr\}

For membership holomorphic witness responses, a lower-dimensional reference is created using the Holographic Morphism, then expanded to identify a subset of the projective alphabet sets.

For non-membership witnesses, lower-dimensional references are generated and expanded to verify non-inclusion in the set XX:

pkχ=HoloMorphism(νik)forχΞ\text{pk}_\chi = \text{HoloMorphism}(\nu_{i_k}) \quad \text{for} \quad \chi \in \Xi

The verification process utilizes the projective morphism to trace the exact path from the lower-dimensional witness to the accumulated representation AccΞ\text{Acc}_\Xi:

Verify ⁣(resp(χ,pkχ,χ),AccΞ)={Trueif valid membershipFalseotherwise\text{Verify}\!\bigl(\text{resp}(\chi, \text{pk}_\chi, \chi), \text{Acc}_\Xi\bigr) = \begin{cases} \text{True} & \text{if valid membership} \\ \text{False} & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}

The primary equations and formulations in the RWP Accumulator cypher include the accumulator representation, membership holomorphic witness responses, non-membership holomorphic witness responses, and the sigma protocol for witness verification.

Example

Consider a set X={χ1,χ2,χ3,χ4}X = \{\chi_1, \chi_2, \chi_3, \chi_4\}. The accumulator represents this set in projective form:

AccX={Π=(v1,v2,v3,v4),  Ω=(v5,v6,v7,v8)}\text{Acc}_X = \bigl\{\Pi = (v_1, v_2, v_3, v_4),\; \Omega = (v_5, v_6, v_7, v_8)\bigr\}

For membership witness χ1\chi_1:

pkχ1=HoloMorphism(v1)\text{pk}_{\chi_1} = \text{HoloMorphism}(v_1)

Verification:

Verify ⁣(resp(χ1,pkχ1,χ),AccX)\text{Verify}\!\bigl(\text{resp}(\chi_1, \text{pk}_{\chi_1}, \chi), \text{Acc}_X\bigr)

Holographic Witness Accumulation

In setup, Π\Pi models the domain M\mathcal{M}. The accumulate phase creates the short representation AccΞ\text{Acc}_\Xi of the set Ξ\Xi, partitioning it into projective subsets:

AccΞ={Π=(νi1,,νir),  Θ=(νj1,,νjr)}\text{Acc}_\Xi = \bigl\{ \Pi = (\nu_{i_1}, \ldots, \nu_{i_r}),\; \Theta = (\nu_{j_1}, \ldots, \nu_{j_r}) \bigr\}

Public Key Generation

Membership witnesses:

pkξ=H(νik)forξΞ\text{pk}_\xi = \mathcal{H}(\nu_{i_k}) \quad \text{for} \quad \xi \in \Xi

Non-membership witnesses:

pkξ=H(νjk)forξMΞ\text{pk}_{\xi'} = \mathcal{H}(\nu_{j_k}) \quad \text{for} \quad \xi' \in \mathcal{M} \setminus \Xi

Verification

Verify ⁣(resp(ξ,pkξ,χ),AccΞ)={Trueif valid membershipFalseotherwise\text{Verify}\!\bigl(\text{resp}(\xi, \text{pk}_\xi, \chi), \text{Acc}_\Xi\bigr) = \begin{cases} \text{True} & \text{if valid membership} \\ \text{False} & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}

🔬 Cryptographic Foundations

ENI6MA introduces a universal symbolic language:

  • A unified symbol set L=iΣiL = \bigcup_i \Sigma_i spans multiple modalities—text, tone, color, gesture.
  • A morphism-invariant commitment array encodes a secret word across any medium.
  • Each symbol maps to an eigen-signature in a Hilbert manifold M\mathbb{M}, enabling projection, verification, and recovery across media: light, sound, haptics, or RF.

Above this geometric layer operates the Rosario–Wang Protocol:

  • Each session generates a nonce-shuffled alphabet XRX^R and a round-specific projection ΠeR(P)M\Pi_{e^R}(P) \subset \mathbb{M}.
  • The prover must show correct subset membership of their projection across nn randomized rounds, producing a single-bit accumulator Λ\Lambda for verifier validation.
  • This interaction is stateless, zero-knowledge, and replay-resistant—even when transcripts are fully observed.

The result is a zero-knowledge password proof (ZKPP)—a cognitive authentication primitive that is:

  • Fully entropy-synchronized via symmetric nonce lifecycles (AVAILABLE → RESERVED → USED),
  • Immune to phishing, replay, or brute-force attacks,
  • Secure against quantum adversaries due to combinatorial projection hardness.

🔐 Security Model

Threat ClassDefense MechanismResult
Replay AttacksEntropy-gated morphisms ΠeR\Pi_{e^R}, non-reusable noncesObserved transcripts become invalid
Phishing / KeyloggingSymbol shuffling Σ(A)XR\Sigma(A) \rightarrow X^R per roundRecorded keystrokes don’t replay secrets
Quantum AttacksHilbert lattice traversal over multiple combinatorial spacesGrover and Shor ineffective
Storage BreachStateless commitments, no persistent secretsServer-side breaches yield nothing usable

Mathematically, soundness and zero-knowledge are formalized via:

  • Entropy-accumulated membership proofs,
  • Roundwise projection foliations over disjoint symbolic subspaces,
  • Probabilistic guarantees of security: Pr[forgery](Σ1)nk\Pr[\text{forgery}] \le (|\Sigma|^{-1})^{nk}.
