I'm really not sure where to put this (or even if I should make it public at all), so I'm just gonna put it here and let the curious find it. | |||

As mentioned in the [[Safe_spots#Additional_Notes|safe spots]] article, Jovian Symbolic Navigators are effectively [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-way_function one-way functions]. This means that you can apply similar concepts to navigators as you can to other one-way functions, such as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_(cryptography) salting]. In the same spirit as adding a salt to a cryptographic hash, we can add additional navigators to a navigator sequence which adds a small amount of random movement (ideally < 0.5au), with the goal of making the sequence more complicated to replicate. | As mentioned in the [[Safe_spots#Additional_Notes|safe spots]] article, Jovian Symbolic Navigators are effectively [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-way_function one-way functions].

* Once you have picked a random number for each sequence, activate the sequences their respective number of times. Remember that both sequences tend to cancel out the drift from the other, so if you are worried about drifting out of activation range, you can alternate between the sequences to stay in range. You should not need to make a bookmark after each navigator like you would normally, however bookmarking after each completed sequence may be helpful. | * Once you have picked a random number for each sequence, activate the sequences their respective number of times.

This is not an infallible way to keep your jsn safe secure. People can still follow your salt if you use the same pattern all the time (or if you announce your salt combinations). People can also make every possible combination of starting points for a given salt range (i.e. a rainbow table). The point of this process is just to make it harder to recreate a navigator combination exactly. I feel like with some caution diligence, I have accomplished that (at least enough to bet my Orca on it). | |||
