Rethinking the True Nature of Asymmetric Cryptography: Temporal Seed Dependency and the Prospective Return to Symmetric Paradigms

Asymmetric cryptography has long been celebrated as the foundation of modern secure communication, promising independence between public and private keys through mathematical intractability. Yet, practical realizations of these systems reveal an often-overlooked dependency: the temporal seeds and entropy sources driving key generation. This paper argues that such dependencies introduce a concealed form of symmetry, challenging the orthodox belief in absolute asymmetry. We contend that security, in practice, is conditioned by predictable external parameters rather than being grounded solely in irreversible mathematics. This theoretical reconsideration points toward an eventual resurgence of symmetric or hybrid paradigms in contexts demanding unconditional security.
