Multiverse Path Encryption for Securing Interpretation under Adversarial Access

This conference paper, published in the Proceedings of IMNS 2026 by IEEE, introduces Multiverse Path Encryption (MPE), an interpretation-control framework for post-compromise environments in which adversaries may observe ciphertext-derived outputs or queryable system states. Rather than mapping a ciphertext to a single plaintext, MPE uses key-conditioned traversal over a shared semantic graph to generate multiple coherent, query-consistent worlds. The paper formalizes world non-identifiability and decision uncertainty, explains how global coherence preserves structured ambiguity, and evaluates MPE against heuristic and adaptive querying attackers. Experimental results show sustained target-selection error, high path-reconstruction error, and substantial decision-ranking distortion, demonstrating that adversarial access does not necessarily produce reliable interpretation.
