#!/usr/bin/env python3 """ 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. Added to ahmad-foundations 2026-08-20.
