KAN-DAM Cryptographic Trapdoors on the DSM-861
Michael I Aksman
We present a complete cryptographic trapdoor primitive constructed by embeddingKolmogorov–Arnold Networks (KAN) with Dense Associative Memory (DAM) layersonto the DSM-861 Deterministic Spectral Manifold — a rigid triangular-lattice 3-toruswith exactly N = 861 nodes, 72-fold gear-lock symmetry, topological defect δ = -1/24,and intrinsic Casimir residue |ε| = 1/12 (derived via Euler-Maclaurin regularization ofδ). The private key is an exact initial spectral signature ψ0. Forward trapdoor evaluation (private key → public key) is an exact algebraic spectral mapping of the Kolmogorov–Arnold decomposition executed via discrete Lax pairs satisfying the zero-curvature condition [∂/∂t − A, L] = 0. The Dense Associative Memory layerresolves superpositions deterministically. Inversion is rendered computationallyintractable by the non-periodic, non-Abelian geometry of the closed manifold,topological phase locking, and intrinsic Casimir stabilization. This constructiondelivers deterministic, drift-free signature generation and verification with zeroprobabilistic failure. We provide full mathematical definitions, explicit constructions,rigorous security reductions, quantitative resource comparisons with Babbush et al.(2026), implementation considerations, and integration with intrinsic topologicalquantum error correction. The primitive offers a practical, quantum-resistantalternative to lattice-based post-quantum cryptography with dramatically reducedoverhead and no reliance on heuristic hardness assumptions.
