An encryption method based on a controlled permutation algorithm using a three-dimensional quaternion quantum fractal image to establish a nearly infinite range of data from which encryption keys can be derived. The data of the fractal is converted at base 16 to yield millions of possible combinations for each pixel of the image, identified using only ten symbols in standard Unicode format. The encryption technique employs pointers and parameters to transmit key data rather than actual keys, lowering processor overhead. The result is encryption designed for computer applications that is government standard compliant and capable of withstanding brute force attacks from existing super-computers and quantum computers of the future.
