# About

Annihilative Keys provide a novel construction where a pair of cryptographic keys, consisting of a key and antikey, are derived from separate keying materials. An annihilative key consists of:

 - A mined proof-of-work solution, consisting of an identity byte, cryptographic commitment, authenticated body, and constraint parameter.
 - A compressed elliptic curve point on Curve25519.

A key and antikey together form an annihilative pair, bound through computational proof-of-work and an elliptic curve point relationship. A valid pair is capable of producing a symmetric key through annihilation. As long as one half of the pair remains secret, the secrecy of the derived annihilation key is preserved.
