Johnson noise modulation tool for covert comms

Build a library or hardware module that encodes data in thermal noise patterns. For security researchers and privacy-focused communicators.

Why now

Recent research proves feasibility, opening niche applications where traditional encryption fails.

Who for
Security researchers, privacy tools
Business model
Enterprise licenses
Effort
A few months

Secure communication often leaves metadata trails. Encoding in thermal noise provides plausible deniability.

Package as an Arduino shield or Python library with simple send/receive API. Target air-gapped systems first.

Government contractors and infosec firms pay for novel steganography methods that bypass deep packet inspection.

MVP: Command-line tool that modulates noise patterns on USB ports. Validate with academic partners.

Risk: Niche too specialized without clear commercial use beyond research labs.
