An encryption method and system for securing data through structure-aware semantic fragmentation. An input data stream is segmented into semantically meaningful fragments using a transformer-based neural network. Each fragment is bound by deterministic structural markers to create a tamper-evident chain. A Final Seed, derived from high-resolution timestamps and a hardware-anchored Personal Key, seeds a permutation function to shuffle the fragments. The system then applies a Quantum Lattice Transform to a subsequently derived MasterSeed, generating a post-quantum resilient symmetric key. This MasterSeed-derived key encrypts the permuted and bound fragments into a final secure payload. Decryption requires regenerating the exact permutation map and verifying the structural marker chain, ensuring data is protected against memory scraping and unauthorized access in decentralized environments.

0000 Techniques and architecture are described for reauthentication of two IPsec peers, during a key refresh process. The peers may reauthenticate each other based upon a shared secret, which in configurations, is a PPK. In configurations the PPKs are stirred (mixed with DH/ECDH) during key derivation while refreshing the session keys during IKE_v2 and IPsec rekey. This may involve communicating the PPK-ID from a rekey initiator to a rekey responder by adding a PPK_ID payload in the rekey message exchange. This enables stronger quantum safe session keys, when dynamic PPK is used or when the manual PPK is rotated frequently. In configurations, the knowledge of the shared PPK is proved by having both peers exchange authentication payloads signed with a PPK. This involves exchanging a IKEv2 NOTIFY payload “AUTH_PPK” to carry PPK-signed authentication data. This serves the purpose of frequent re-authentication of the peers as part of the key refreshes.
