The cryptography scene is a graveyard of failed enthusiasts so I had better explain a few things. I have based my cryptography design on the conviction that all current cryptography is weak because it uses the traditional real line as the number line i.e the selection domain for the raw encryption data that must somehow be transformed into ciphertext. The upshot is that the natural transparency that characterises all mathematics continues to shine through in the ciphertext giving it residual structure that just won=92t go away =96 it is indelible in all scalar cryptography. The result is cryptography that is only =93practically unbreakable=94 =96 stron= g enough for the time being in the absence of sufficient computer power that will break but vulnerable to the advent of sufficient computer power when and if that ever happens. The big threat comes from quantum computing. My solution is to use spatial number theory and three-dimensional space as the selection domain for something that I am calling =93displacement=94 cryptography instead of the current cryptography that I call =93scalar=94 cryptography. I have developed an up-and-running cipher that I have placed in the public domain for the use of anybody who wants to do that. This can be found for free downloading at, http://www.adacrypt.com/introduction.html under the title box =93 Free Software =96 Gnu General Public License =96 =93Skew Line Encryptions=94. Ada experts may see this program as being a bit gauche but let me explain that the object here is presenting the cryptography and the mathematics in an Ada setting without any attempt at elegance. That can come later. I deplore slick source code i.e. ultra short-form unintuitive code writing in any case but am open to optimising the operational speed of my cryptography by legitimately rewriting the source code if it does not affect the transparency of the cipher. Note, that this cipher is immune to increasing computer power for all time and it possesses the ultimate cryptographic strength of =93Theoretically Unbreakable=94. It is a world first and is here to stay. I would be interested in what readers think and equally what they can do to enhance this cipher without making it unreadable. You are invited to modify it as you see fit and worthwhile. - adacrypt
