| Fibonacci Braid Conjugacy Cipher (FBC) |
| Ahmad's new cryptographic construction based on Fibonacci anyon braiding. |
| NOT a model of existing work - a NEW primitive. |
| |
| Security assumption tested: Conjugacy search in Fibonacci braid group B_n(τ) is hard. |
| Quantum assumption tested: No efficient quantum algorithm for this specific problem. |
| |
| RESULT: FBC Key Exchange is BROKEN by classical linear algebra. |
| Fibonacci Braid Hash is potentially sound — requires further analysis. |
