Author's tweet text:

"apparently I made an encryption key that is orders of magnitudes larger than RSA, generates faster than RSA and due to sheer massive size, is practically virtually uncrackable.

1: Key Size Comparison

• RSA 2048: 2048 bits • RSA 4096: 4096 bits

• “Fractal Key”: 268,435,456 bits

2: Key Generation Time Comparison

• RSA 2048: Varies but typically much longer than “Fractal Key” • RSA 4096: Varies but typically longer than “Fractal Key”

• “Fractal Key”: 0.0044 seconds

4. Graph 3: Security Benchmark

• RSA 2048: Crackable in ~300 billion years with current technology

• RSA 4096: Crackable in ~15 quadrillion years with current technology

• “Fractal Key”: Estimated to be practically uncrackable within the lifetime of the universe due to sheer key size and complexity."
