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 doesnβt 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
β
[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)

-
Production: HashiCorp Vault or Google Secret Manager

8. π¬ 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) β Complex structure (Y)
Cryptographic Application: Model encryption keys as points on manifold X. Use mirror map to βswapβ to manifold Y for instant key rotationβchanging 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"π 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
- 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
- Automatic Phason Shifting
-
Keys rotate automatically on geometric flux events
-
Flux triggers: Unusual CPU spikes, network anomalies, temporal drift
-
No manual regeneration required
- Duality-Based Fail-to-Noise
-
Wrong manifold verification returns cryptographic garbage
-
Indistinguishable from valid ciphertext
-
Prevents oracle attacks on key swapping mechanism

# 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)βmaking API credential theft exponentially harder. Mirror duality adds self-defending key rotation without manual intervention.
