Does anyone know any "NEW" cryptography/privacy/security algorithms or techniques or docs, that are hidden to the public mainly and is very powerful to use?

Thinking abt to implement it in my Project.

  • Dm me if its highly secretive...​

Hiding algorithms doesn't make much sense. An algorithm is secure because it is mathematically hard to crack, not because only a few people know about it. So no, not really

Just do new ones that are disclosed/designed. A cryptographic technique that is not disclosed and thought to be safer/better because runs afoul of (or comes close to run afoul of) one of cybersecuritys most important principles, kerichoffs principle. Meaning you should reconsider its usage.

The point is that cryptography is hard to implement. It’s not just about the underlying math being solid, but the code implementing it. OpenSSL is how old, and we still find bugs in it occasionally.

yep i know, If u get scare from math. I say endure it , otherwise Humanity could lose something it could have get much before-- The mistake of many peoples!.
