Entrelid® OTP: Revolutionary Cryptographic Architecture
We've solved the 75-year-old Military OTP key distribution problem. Traditional OTP fails because you can't securely distribute keys at scale. Entrelid has inverted the model: instead of sending OTP-encrypted messages across networks, we use OTP to protect messages at rest within a secure enclave to be retrieved by AES256-encrypted sessions.
Game-Changing Architecture
Traditional OTP systems fail because they require physical key distribution. Entrelid OTP inverts this model entirely.
The Traditional OTP Problem
The Challenge
For 75 years, military organizations have struggled with the same fundamental limitation: how do you securely distribute one-time pad keys at scale without compromising their security?
Traditional OTP requires physical courier delivery, pre-positioning of key material, and creates massive logistical overhead that often makes implementation impossible in dynamic operational environments.
Revolutionary Architecture Insight
We've solved this by inverting the entire security model:
Traditional OTP
[Sender] --OTP-encrypted message--> [Receiver]
Key must be pre-distributed physically
Entrelid Architecture
[User] --AES256--> [Entrelid OTP] --AES256--> [User]
Keys never leave the secure enclave
Why This Is Superior to Traditional OTP
No Key Distribution Problem
  • Keys never leave the secure enclave
  • No physical courier or pre-positioning needed
  • No risk of key interception during message distribution
Double-Encrypted Protection
  • Network traffic: AES256 session encryption
  • Storage: OTP and AES256 encryption
  • Even network intercepts get you nothing
Cryptographically Secure Random Key
  • Uses Go's crypto/rand qualification for OTP
  • Sources from /dev/urandom on Unix systems, ProcessPrng on Windows
  • Military-grade CSPRNG implementation

This revolutionary approach provides quantifiably superior security metrics compared to traditional OTP implementations while solving operational challenges that have persisted for decades.
The Three-Layer Security Model
01
Layer 1: Network Security
AES256 session-unique keys protect all data in transit with computational security proven against current and projected quantum threats.
02
Layer 2: Storage Security
AES256 + OTP encryption provides information-theoretic security for all stored data, mathematically unbreakable even with unlimited computational power.
03
Layer 3: Access Security
Entity + Entrelid RDID + cryptographic storage key derivation creates a three-factor authentication system requiring simultaneous compromise.
Minimal Attack Surface Analysis
An attacker must compromise ALL THREE layers simultaneously to access protected communications:
Network Intercept
Yields only session unique AES256 ciphertext - computationally secure against all known attacks including quantum computing capabilities.
Storage Breach
Yields AES256 + OTP ciphertext - information-theoretically secure, providing mathematical proof of unbreakability regardless of computational advances.
Combined Attack Requirements
Must break into vault AND break AES256 ciphertext PLUS timing requirements to intercept and break session keys while session is valid - operationally impossible.
Cryptographic Pad Destruction (CPD)
Mathematical Impossibility
When we delete a pad, we achieve something revolutionary: mathematical inaccessibility through entity removal.
Cryptographic Pad Destruction (CPD)
Revolutionary approach to secure data destruction that achieves mathematical certainty without physical processes.
How CPD Works
When a pad is deleted, we remove the entity that controls access. Without this entity, intercepted RDIDs become meaningless pointers to nothing. Even recreating the entity fails because its new passcode won't match original RDID's.
This creates mathematical impossibility of data recovery - superior to physical destruction because there's no residual risk of incomplete incineration or forensic recovery.
Defense Layers
  • Entity deletion (primary defense)
  • Unguessable random entity identifiers
  • RDID passcode mismatch on entity re-creation
  • Encrypted NATS logs
  • Encrypted update documents

Key Advantage: Achieves security goals of physical OTP book burning with mathematical certainty and zero operational overhead.
Entity-Based Security Innovation
Three-Factor Mathematical Inaccessibility
WHO (entity identity), WHAT (message RDID identifier), and WHERE (vault resource context) ALL must be present to locate data in 2^128 search space. Removing any single factor makes data mathematically undiscoverable.
Passcode Regeneration Defense
Automatic passcode generation prevents sophisticated entity re-creation attacks. Even with knowledge of entity identifiers, new passcodes won't match captured RDID's, maintaining forward security.
Relationship-Based Access Control
Access depends on cryptographic relationships between entities rather than just credentials. This creates a fundamentally different security model that traditional systems cannot replicate.
Defense in Depth: Five Security Layers
Our cryptographic deletion system implements multiple defensive barriers:
1
Layer 1: Entity Deletion
Primary defense through complete access entity removal from active systems.
2
Layer 2: Unguessable Entity Identifiers
Cryptographically random identifiers prevent brute force enumeration attacks.
3
Layer 3: Passcode Mismatch Protection
Automatic passcode regeneration prevents entity recreation attacks.
4
Layer 4: Encrypted NATS Logs
All system logs are encrypted, preventing historical entity and data recovery.
5
Layer 5: Double-Encrypted Update Documents
Update documents within logs receive additional encryption layers.
Superiority Over Physical Destruction
Traditional OTP Books
  • Must be physically burned or shredded
  • Requires secure disposal protocols
  • Risk of incomplete destruction
  • Forensic recovery possibilities
  • Logistical overhead for disposal
Entrelid CPD
  • Instantaneous mathematical deletion at expiration
  • No physical materials to secure
  • Guaranteed complete inaccessibility
  • Forensically impossible to recover
  • Zero logistical overhead
Residual Risk Assessment

Theoretical Attack Vector Analysis: Complete transparency about the only remaining vulnerability pathway ensures informed security decisions.
The only theoretical vulnerability requires ALL of the following simultaneous conditions:
1
Physical access to server infrastructure during operation
2
Ability to decrypt NATS update logs
3
Ability to decrypt update documents within logs
4
Capture timing before RDID expiration
5
Knowledge mapping specific updates to target communications
Risk Assessment: Computationally infeasible under military threat models.
