Using smart photochromic and luminescent tissues in camouflage/cloaking of natural creatures has inspired efforts to develop synthetic stimuli-responsive materials for data encryption and anticounterfeiting. Although many optical data-encryption materials have been reported, they generally require only one or a simple combination of few stimuli for decryptions and rarely offer output corruptibility that prevents trial-and-error attacks. Here, we report a series of multiresponsive donor-acceptor Stenhouse adducts (DASAs) with unprecedented switching behavior and controlled reversibility via diamine conformational locking and substrate free-volume engineering and their capability of sequential logic encryption (SLE). Being analogous to the digital circuits, the output of DASA gel-based data-encryption system depends not only on the present input stimulus but also on the sequence of past inputs. Incorrect inputs/sequences generate substantial fake information and lead attackers to the point of no return. This work offers new design concepts for advanced data-encryption materials that operate via SLE, paving the path toward advanced encryptions beyond digital circuit approaches.
在天然生物的伪装/隐形中使用智能光致变色和发光组织,激发了人们开发用于数据加密和防伪的合成刺激响应材料的努力。尽管已经报道了许多光学数据加密材料,但它们通常只需要一种或几种刺激的简单组合来进行解密,并且很少提供防止试错攻击的输出可损坏性。在这里,我们报告了一系列具有前所未有的开关行为和通过二胺构象锁定和底物自由体积工程实现的可控可逆性的多响应供体-受体斯滕豪斯加合物(DASA)及其顺序逻辑加密(SLE)能力。类似于数字电路,基于DASA凝胶的数据加密系统的输出不仅取决于当前的输入刺激,还取决于过去输入的序列。不正确的输入/序列会产生大量虚假信息,并使攻击者陷入无法回头的境地。这项工作为通过SLE运行的先进数据加密材料提供了新的设计概念,为超越数字电路方法的先进加密铺平了道路。
