Rampart Communications: Cryptographic Modulation: Zero-Attack-Surface Wireless

on YouTube ↗29m

" summary

Claims a cryptographic modulation that maps any constellation to Gaussian noise in order-n time, preserving bandwidth, duration and transmit power so equalization, MIMO, hopping and PAPR behave unchanged. Implements a unitary transform provably indistinguishable from noise under standard cryptographic assumptions, with patents and a white paper rather than full public disclosure. A live demo alternates encrypted/noisy transmissions so listeners can record symbols; the system is practical and verified to have zero impact on DSP performance.
