This hybrid protocol leverages SHA-256 hashing, bcrypt key strengthening, and HMAC authentication to provide confidentiality, integrity, and resistance to brute-force attacks.\n\n## Cryptographic Architecture\n\n### Core Components\nBHX operates through three integrated cryptographic subsystems:\n1. **Key Derivation**: bcrypt(password, SHA256(key)) with 16-round salt\n2. **Stream Generation**: $K_{n+1} = \\text{SHA256}(K_n + K_{master} + IV + C_n + \\text{counter})$ per 32-byte block\n3. **Integrity Protection**: HMAC-SHA256 over all ciphertext blocks\n\nThe algorithm supports two operational modes - full-message encryption with atomic HMAC verification and chunked streaming for real-time communication protocols.\n\n## Features\n\n**Confidentiality Assurance**  \nImplements perfect forward secrecy through hash-based key evolution where each 32-byte block uses a new key derived via:\n$K_{n+1} = \\text{SHA256}(K_n + K_{master} + IV + C_n + \\text{counter})$\nThis ensures compromised block keys don't reveal previous/future blocks.\n\n**Authentication Mechanisms**  \n- Pre-encryption key verification via bcrypt hash comparison\n- Post-decryption HMAC-SHA256 validation\n\n**Stream Processing**  \nStateful encryption context supports chunked processing:\n```python\nenc = BHX(password)\nheader = enc.start_encrypt_stream() # header or initial_chunk\nchunk1 = enc.encrypt_chunk_stream(data[:32])\nchunk2 = enc.encrypt_chunk_stream(data[32:64])\n\ndec == BHX(password)\nenc.start_decrypt_stream(header)\ndata1 = decrypter.decrypt_chunk_stream(chunk1)\ndata2 = decrypter.decrypt_chunk_stream(chunk2)\n```\n\n## Installation\n\n**Requirements**  \n- Python 3.10+\n- bcrypt 4.1+\n\nInstall via file:\n```bash\nfirst copy the code using git clone then past BHX folder where you want to use this.\n```\n\u003c!-- Install via pip:\n```bash\npip install bhx-crypto\n``` --\u003e\n\n## Usage Examples\n\n### Basic File Encryption\n```python\nfrom bhx import BHX\n\nkey = b\"strong_password\"\ndata = open(\"secret.txt\", \"rb\").read()\n\n# Encrypt\ncipher = BHX(key)\nencrypted = cipher.encrypt(data)\n\n# Decrypt \ndecrypted = BHX(key).decrypt(encrypted)\nassert data == decrypted\n```\n\n## Security Design\n\n**Key Strengthening**  \nInitial key material undergoes bcrypt hashing with automatically generated salts, requiring ~250ms per derivation on modern CPUs to resist brute-force attacks.\n\n**Ciphertext Structure**  \n```\n[60-byte bcrypt hash][16-byte encrypted IV][data blocks][32-byte HMAC]\n```\n\n**Authentication Flow**  \n1. Validate password via bcrypt hash match\n2. Recompute HMAC over received ciphertext\n\n\u003c!-- ## Performance Characteristics\n\n**Throughput**  \n- 1.2 GB/s on AES-NI CPUs (streaming mode)\n- 380 MB/s (non-streaming with HMAC) --\u003e\n\n**Memory Safety**  \nZero heap allocations during stream processing with fixed 32-byte chunk sizes prevents memory exhaustion attacks.\n\n## References\n\nImplements cryptographic primitives from:\n- NIST FIPS 180-4 (SHA-256)\n- RFC 2898 (PBKDF2 via bcrypt)\n- RFC 2104 (HMAC)\n\n## License\n\nMIT License\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fthefcraft%2Fbhx-encryption-algorithm","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fthefcraft%2Fbhx-encryption-algorithm","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fthefcraft%2Fbhx-encryption-algorithm/lists"}
