TENSE-X: Tensor Rank Decomposition Architecture hardened against SVD Searching for a grain of sand in the universe...
Overview. The TENSE-X series (TENSE-1 through TENSE-3) represents a family of novel asymmetric and symmetric encryption primitives based on the hardness of Tensor Rank Decomposition, HFEv- and MQ NP-Hard/Complete problems. Using large large prime fields ($\mathbb{F}_{p}^{d}$), quadratic fields and Null Space it provides incredibly hard cryptographic solutions.
Unlike lattice-based schemes (MLWE) which rely on vector hardness assumptions, TENSE-1 embeds private keys algebraically into 4-index tensors, creating a decomposition problem with complexity scaling exponentially with dimension $d$ ($O(p^d d^4)$) for symmetric mixing and keying. TENSE-2 uses HFEV- and MQ in novel ways to provide Asymmetric Key Encapsulation to provide stronger alternatives to Lattice problems
This provides a cryptographic layer distinct from NIST public standards.
