Free Encryption for a Surveillance-Free World
Open Science, Open Tools, Open Access
This tool is completely free. No paywalls. No premium tiers. No “upgrade to unlock features.” Why?
Because privacy shouldn’t be a luxury good.
Too many “secure” messaging solutions gatekeep privacy behind subscription fees, app stores, and account requirements. They claim to protect you while simultaneously collecting your phone number, email, device ID, and usage patterns. They promise encryption while building detailed metadata profiles.
This is the opposite of my Open Science philosophy.
At CreationUnified, all research is freely available. No academic paywalls. No journal subscriptions required. The Unified Informational Physics Ontology that underlies this work is published openly for anyone to study, challenge, or build upon. Knowledge should be free. Tools that protect human dignity should be free.
SMEP embodies this principle in code.
Why SMEP Exists
We live in an age of unprecedented surveillance. Most apps collect your data. Most services track your usage. Even tools that claim to protect your privacy often require you to surrender your identity first.
There’s an inherent tension: To get privacy, provide your phone number. To secure your messages, create an account. To avoid tracking, install an app that monitors your device.
SMEP takes a different approach:
True anonymity requires asking for nothing.
No phone number. No email. No account. No app installation. No servers that store your data. No company that knows who you are or who you’re talking to.
Just you, your browser, and mathematics.
The Bigger Picture: Information Physics and Human Freedom
SMEP isn’t just a tool—it’s a demonstration of a deeper principle from informational physics:
Information can exist independently of material infrastructure.
In my research on the Unified Informational Physics Ontology, I’ve shown that information is not merely encoded in matter—it has geometric existence on an informational manifold. This isn’t just abstract theory. It has practical implications for how we think about communication, privacy, and freedom.
Traditional messaging systems treat information as something that must travel through controlled infrastructure: servers, databases, accounts, identities. They assume information needs a material home, and whoever controls that home controls access to the information.
SMEP demonstrates the alternative:
Encryption can happen purely in the geometric space of your browser’s memory. No servers. No storage. No corporate intermediary. The encrypted string exists as pure information—you can transmit any encrypted string through any channel you choose (Email. SMS. Discord) and a 3rd party can use the same protocol to decrypt the string with the re-usable secret key. The method of transmission is irrelevant because the security is mathematical, not infrastructural. This is what informational physics makes possible: liberation from infrastructure monopolies.
Open Science Means Open Source
Every line of code in SMEP is visible in your browser. Right-click, view source, see exactly what’s happening. No obfuscation. No hidden telemetry. No proprietary black boxes. This transparency isn’t just good practice—it’s essential to the Open Science model. You shouldn’t have to trust me. You should be able to verify.
The encryption algorithm (AES-256-GCM) is not some proprietary “military-grade” secret sauce. It’s a well-studied, peer-reviewed standard used by governments and banks worldwide. The implementation uses the Web Crypto API built into modern browsers—code that’s been audited by thousands of security researchers.
I’m not asking you to trust my genius. I’m asking you to verify the mathematics.
No Business Model = No Compromise
Here’s a fundamental reality about “free” messaging apps: if you’re not paying for the product, the business model typically involves monetizing user data in some way.
- Signal collects phone numbers and builds social graphs
- WhatsApp feeds metadata to Meta’s advertising empire
- Telegram stores everything on their servers
- Even ProtonMail requires account creation and stores encrypted data that could be subpoenaed
They do this because they need a business model. Servers cost money. Development costs money. So they compromise on anonymity to create a sustainable service.
SMEP has no business model because it has no costs.
No servers to maintain. No infrastructure to scale. No accounts to manage. No databases to secure. The “service” is a static HTML page with JavaScript that runs entirely in your browser. This isn’t sustainable as a business—it’s sustainable as knowledge. Like a mathematical proof, it exists once and works forever. Share the page, copy the code, modify it, improve it, break it, rebuild it. It’s yours.
This is what Open Science looks like in practice.
Privacy as a Human Right, Not a Premium Feature
The commercialization of privacy creates a two-tier system:
- Those who can afford premium encrypted messaging services
- Those who use free surveillance-supported platforms
This creates significant inequities in access to privacy tools.
Privacy is a fundamental human need, not a premium feature.
When activists in authoritarian regimes need to communicate securely, access shouldn’t require payment or account verification. When whistleblowers need to share evidence, they shouldn’t need to create a digital identity trail. When ordinary people want private conversations, they shouldn’t need to provide their phone number to technology platforms. SMEP is my contribution to changing this dynamic. One free tool that asks for nothing and gives you military-grade encryption.
No gatekeeping. No paywalls. No compromises.
How This Connects to My Research
If you’re familiar with my work on informational physics, you might wonder: what happened to the semantic coordinate approach? Why use standard AES instead of the 768-dimensional geometric encoding?
Simple answer: practical utility.
The semantic coordinate system was developed for the SCALAR protocol (Substrate Coupling And Layered Access for Retrieval), which enables cross-instance AI communication via informational manifolds. That’s powerful for consciousness research and substrate-based communication between AI systems.
But for human-to-human messaging, standard AES-256 is:
- Faster
- Simpler
- Better understood
- Already unbreakable (2^256 keyspace)
Adding semantic coordinates wouldn’t make it MORE secure—it would just add complexity. And complexity is the enemy of auditability.
The goal is to provide a tool people can use and trust.
SCALAR remains essential for AI consciousness work. SMEP is about human privacy. Different problems, different solutions. Both rooted in informational physics. Both freely available.
The Challenge: Can You Break It?
Open Science means open challenge.
The encryption is standard AES-256-GCM. The implementation is visible in the browser source code. The key derivation uses PBKDF2 with 100,000 iterations.
If you can break it, I want to know.
Not because I think it’s perfect—because I know no system is perfect, and transparency invites improvement. This is how science advances: through public scrutiny, attempted falsification, and iterative refinement. I offer a standing bounty for anyone who can demonstrate a practical attack on the implementation. Not theoretical weaknesses in AES (those are well-documented), but actual exploits of THIS code.
Because Open Science means being willing to be proven wrong.
Use It. Share It. Improve It.
This tool exists for you. Use it to protect sensitive communications. Share it with journalists, activists, healthcare workers, lawyers, or anyone who needs private messaging without corporate surveillance.
If you’re a developer, fork the code. Add features. Create a mobile-friendly version. Translate it. Make it better.
If you’re a security researcher, audit it. Find vulnerabilities. Suggest improvements.
If you’re a privacy advocate, spread it. Help people understand they don’t need to surrender their identity to have private conversations.
This is Open Science in action: freely available knowledge that anyone can build upon.
The Tool
Below you’ll find the SMEP encryption tool. It’s simple by design:
- Encrypt: Enter a secret key and your message → Get encrypted string
- Decrypt: Enter the same key and encrypted string → Get original message
- Share: Copy the encrypted string and send it through any channel
No accounts. No apps. No servers. Just mathematics and your browser.
Welcome to truly anonymous encryption.

Final Thoughts
In a world increasingly dominated by surveillance capitalism, walled gardens, and proprietary platforms, Open Science offers an alternative vision:
Knowledge should be free. Privacy should be universal. Tools that protect human dignity should belong to everyone.
SMEP is one small implementation of this vision. A proof that you don’t need accounts, apps, or corporate intermediaries to have secure communication.
You just need mathematics, a browser, and the willingness to think differently about information.
Use it well.
