AetherAuth Implementation Guide

Hyperbolic OAuth for Notion-Perplexity API Bridge

System: AetherAuth (Custom OAuth Alternative)

Use Case: Secure API bridge between Notion and Perplexity

Author: Issac Davis

Date: January 29, 2026

Status: Implementation Ready

Standard OAuth tokens can be stolen and replayed. AetherAuth uses geometric envelopes that are only valid when the requesting system is in the correct behavioral state (time, location, intent) as defined by the SCBE-AETHERMOORE trust manifold.


1. Problem Statement

1.1 The Standard OAuth Vulnerability

Current Setup:

Your Bot β†’ [Bearer Token] β†’ Notion API
Your Bot β†’ [Bearer Token] β†’ Perplexity API

Security Issues:

  • Theft: If tokens are leaked (GitHub, logs, memory dump), attacker has full access

  • Replay: Stolen tokens work from any location, any time

  • No Context: Token doesn’t know if request is legitimate or malicious

  • Static: Rotating tokens requires manual regeneration and redeployment

1.2 The AetherAuth Solution

New Setup:

Your Bot β†’ [Geometric Envelope] β†’ Lumo Vault β†’ [Decrypted Token] β†’ API
                ↓
         [Valid only if bot is in Core Ring (r < 0.3)]

Security Properties:

  • Context-Bound: Envelope only decrypts if request matches expected behavior pattern

  • Time-Locked: Automatically expires based on temporal coherence

  • Location-Aware: Validates request origin matches trusted environment

  • Self-Defending: Failed decryption triggers Fail-to-Noise (returns garbage)

3. Implementation Steps

Phase 1: Vault Setup (Storage)

Objective: Store Notion and Perplexity keys in Lumo Vault using SS1 encoding

Script: setup_vault.py

from sacred_tongues import SacredTongueTokenizer
from crypto import aes_gcm_encrypt
import os

# Initialize tokenizer
tokenizer = SacredTongueTokenizer()

# Your actual API keys (DO NOT COMMIT TO GIT)
notion_key = "secret_notionAPIkey123456789"
pplx_key = "pplx-abcdef123456"

# Concatenate with delimiter
keys_blob = f"{notion_key}|||{pplx_key}"

# Generate encryption key from master passphrase
master_passphrase = os.getenv("AETHER_MASTER_KEY")  # Set in environment
salt = os.urandom(16)
encryption_key = derive_key(master_passphrase, salt)

# Encrypt using AES-GCM
ciphertext = aes_gcm_encrypt(keys_blob.encode(), encryption_key)

# Encode using Cassisivadan (CA) tongue (for ciphertext)
ca_encoded = tokenizer.encode(ciphertext, tongue='CA')
ru_salt = tokenizer.encode(salt, tongue='RU')  # Runethic for salt

# Create SS1 Envelope
envelope = f"SS1|kid=notion-pplx-v1|salt={ru_salt}|ct={ca_encoded}"

# Store in Lumo Vault (could be HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, or local encrypted file)
with open(".aether/vault/api_keys.ss1", "w") as f:
    f.write(envelope)

print("βœ… Keys encrypted and stored in Lumo Vault")

Storage Options:

  1. Local Development: Encrypted file in .aether/vault/

  2. Production: HashiCorp Vault or Google Secret Manager

  3. Embedded: SQLite database with encrypted blob column

File: aether_config.yml

aether_auth:
  # Define the trusted environment (Core Ring)
  core_ring:
    radius: 0.3
    
    # Trusted execution environments
    allowed_ips:
      - "192.168.1.0/24"  # Local network
      - "10.0.0.0/8"      # Docker internal
    
    allowed_containers:
      - "knowledge-bot-prod"
      - "knowledge-bot-staging"
    
    # Temporal constraints
    max_time_drift: 300  # 5 minutes
    
  # Outer Ring (read-only access)
  outer_ring:
    radius: 0.7
    
  # Beyond this = blocked
  wall_threshold: 0.9

Phase 2: Authentication Flow

    timestamp = time.time()
    
    # Dimension 2: Spatial (IP hash)
    hostname = socket.gethostname()
    ip_address = socket.gethostbyname(hostname)
    ip_hash = int(hashlib.sha256(ip_address.encode()).hexdigest()[:8], 16)
    
    # Dimension 3: Computational Load
    cpu_percent = psutil.cpu_percent(interval=0.1)
    
    # Dimension 4: Memory State
    memory_percent = psutil.virtual_memory().percent
    
    # Dimension 5: Intent Code
    # Hash of the function name calling this
    import inspect
    caller_name = inspect.stack()[1].function
    intent_hash = int(hashlib.sha256(caller_name.encode()).hexdigest()[:8], 16)
    
    # Dimension 6: Historical Behavior
    # How many successful requests in last hour?
    recent_success_count = get_recent_success_count()  # from cache
    
    # Normalize to [0, 1] and return
    vector = [
        (timestamp % 86400) / 86400,  # Time of day
        ip_hash / 2**32,
        cpu_percent / 100.0,
        memory_percent / 100.0,
        intent_hash / 2**32,
        min(recent_success_count / 100.0, 1.0)  # Cap at 100

8. πŸ”¬ Advanced Feature: Calabi-Yau Mirror Duality Key Swapping

Status: Experimental / Research Integration

Patent Scope: Novel cryptographic application of string theory geometry

Overview

AetherAuth now includes an optional advanced mode using Calabi-Yau mirror symmetry duality for automatic key rotation. This extends the geometric trust manifold to higher-dimensional cryptographic spaces.

What is Mirror Duality?

In string theory, mirror symmetry states that two topologically different Calabi-Yau manifolds (X and Y) produce physically equivalent results. The key property:

  • Hodge numbers swap: h^{1,1}(X) = h^{2,1}(Y)

  • Moduli spaces exchange: KΓ€hler (X) ↔ Complex structure (Y)

Cryptographic Application: Model encryption keys as points on manifold X. Use mirror map to β€œswap” to manifold Y for instant key rotationβ€”changing representation while preserving security.

Implementation: MirrorKeySwapper Class

Location: aether_auth/mirror_swapper.py

from mirror_swapper import MirrorKeySwapper

class EnhancedVault(LumoVault):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.mirror = MirrorKeySwapper(moduli_dim=3)  # Calabi-Yau threefold
        self.current_manifold = 'primary'
    
    def get_keys_with_mirror_duality(self, context_vector, access_result):
        """Enhanced key retrieval with automatic mirror swapping"""
        
        if not access_result['allowed']:
            return None, os.urandom(64).hex()  # Fail-to-Noise
        
        # Generate key on current manifold
        if self.current_manifold == 'primary':
            key = self.mirror.generate_key(context_vector)
        else:
            base = self.mirror.generate_key(context_vector)
            key = self.mirror.mirror_swap(base, context_vector)
        
        # Check for phason shift (geometric flux event)
        flux = self.compute_flux_intensity(context_vector)
        
        if flux > 0.5:  # High flux: trigger swap
            key = self.mirror.phason_shift_swap(key, context_vector, flux)
            self.current_manifold = 'mirror' if self.current_manifold == 'primary' else 'primary'
            print(f"πŸ”„ Mirror swap triggered (flux={flux:.2f}) β†’ {self.current_manifold}")
        
        # Decrypt actual API keys using swapped key
        api_keys = self.decrypt_with_context_key(key)
        return api_keys['notion'], api_keys['pplx']

Security Advantages

  1. Quantum-Resistant Key Rotation
  • Moduli space inversion is computationally hard (β‰₯256-bit security)

  • Attackers need both the key AND the mirror map (context-bound)

  • No deterministic pattern between rotations

  1. Automatic Phason Shifting
  • Keys rotate automatically on geometric flux events

  • Flux triggers: Unusual CPU spikes, network anomalies, temporal drift

  • No manual regeneration required

  1. Duality-Based Fail-to-Noise
  • Wrong manifold verification returns cryptographic garbage

  • Indistinguishable from valid ciphertext

  • Prevents oracle attacks on key swapping mechanism

Configuration

File: aether_config.yml

aether_auth:
  mirror_duality:
    enabled: true
    moduli_dim: 3              # Calabi-Yau dimension (3 = threefold)
    syz_periods: 3             # TΒ³ fiber count for T-duality
    flux_threshold: 0.5        # Phason shift trigger
    swap_mode: 'automatic'     # or 'manual'
    
  # Mirror swap triggers
  flux_sources:
    - temporal_drift: 0.3      # Weight
    - cpu_spike: 0.25
    - network_anomaly: 0.25
    - trust_ring_shift: 0.2

Testing

def test_mirror_swap_on_flux():
    """Verify automatic key rotation on phason shift"""
    
    vault = EnhancedVault()
    context = [0.5, 0.5, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 0.8]  # Normal context
    access = {'allowed': True, 'ring': 'CORE'}
    
    # Get initial keys
    notion1, pplx1 = vault.get_keys_with_mirror_duality(context, access)
    manifold1 = vault.current_manifold
    
    # Simulate flux event (CPU spike)
    context_flux = [0.5, 0.5, 0.95, 0.2, 0.5, 0.8]  # CPU @ 95%
    
    # Keys should auto-rotate
    notion2, pplx2 = vault.get_keys_with_mirror_duality(context_flux, access)
    manifold2 = vault.current_manifold
    
    # Verify swap occurred
    assert notion2 != notion1, "Keys should rotate on flux"
    assert manifold2 != manifold1, "Manifold should swap"
    assert manifold2 in ['primary', 'mirror'], "Valid manifold"

Monitoring Dashboard

Metrics to track:

  • Swap frequency (target: <10/hour for stable systems)

  • Flux intensity over time

  • Current manifold (primary vs mirror)

  • Swap latency (target: <10ms)

  • Failed verifications (should trigger alerts)

When to Enable

Recommended for:

  • High-security environments (financial, healthcare)

  • Systems under active attack monitoring

  • Compliance requirements for automatic key rotation

  • Research/demonstration of advanced cryptographic geometry

Skip if:

  • Standard AetherAuth provides sufficient security

  • Low-risk applications (personal projects)

  • Latency-critical systems (adds ~5-10ms overhead)


Summary:

AetherAuth replaces static OAuth tokens with geometric envelopes that validate the behavioral state of the requesting system. The optional Calabi-Yau mirror duality extension adds quantum-resistant automatic key rotation using string theory geometry.

Key Benefit: Your Notion and Perplexity API keys never leave the encrypted vault until the requesting bot proves it is operating within expected parameters (time, location, behavior)β€”making API credential theft exponentially harder. Mirror duality adds self-defending key rotation without manual intervention.
