**The world's first practical quaternary compression system with built-in security.**

## 🌟 What Makes Qsinc Revolutionary

**Qsinc isn't just another compression algorithm - it's a complete paradigm shift:**

### 🧮 **Quaternary Innovation**

- **4-state encoding** instead of traditional binary (0,1,2,3 vs 0,1)
- **Patent-pending quaternary patterns** impossible with binary systems
- **Better compression ratios** through advanced pattern recognition

### 🔐 **Built-in Security**

- **Only compression algorithm** with temporal encryption built-in
- **Zero key management** - timestamps become encryption keys
- **Three security modes**: time-window, permanent, self-destructing

### ♾️ **Infinity Timestamps**

- **Permanent encryption** that never expires
- **Perfect for archives** and long-term storage
- **Access control** through encryption knowledge

### 🔥 **Burn-After-Time**

- **Self-destructing data** becomes permanently unrecoverable
- **Automatic cleanup** for sensitive information
- **Mission-critical security** applications

---

## 🚀 Quick Start

### Installation

```bash
pip install qsinc
```

### Basic Usage

```python
import qsinc

# Basic compression
data = b"Hello, World!" * 1000
compressor = qsinc.Qsinc(level=5)
result = compressor.compress(data)

print(f"Compressed {result['ratio']:.2f}:1 at {result['speed_mbps']:.1f} MB/s")

# Perfect decompression
original = compressor.decompress(result)
assert original == data  # ✅ Perfect integrity
```

---

## 🔥 Revolutionary Features

### 1. **Permanent Encryption (Never Expires)**

```python
# Compress with infinity timestamp - NEVER EXPIRES!
archive = qsinc.compress_infinity(b"Important legal document", level=9)

# Can decrypt anytime, anywhere with infinity key
original = qsinc.decompress_qsinc(archive, verify_timestamp=qsinc.TIMESTAMP_INFINITY)
```

**Perfect for**: Legal documents, corporate archives, permanent records

### 2. **Self-Destructing Data**

```python
# Data becomes permanently unrecoverable after 30 minutes
secret = qsinc.compress_and_burn(b"Mission briefing", expire_minutes=30)

print(f"🔥 {secret['warning']}")
# After 30 minutes: impossible to recover, even with supercomputers!
```

**Perfect for**: Temporary secrets, secure messaging, automatic evidence destruction

### 3. **File Compression**

```python
# Compress any file with one command
result = qsinc.compress_file('document.pdf', 'document.qsinc', level=7)
print(f"File compressed {result['ratio']:.2f}:1")

# Decompress just as easily
qsinc.decompress_file('document.qsinc', 'recovered.pdf')
```

**Perfect for**: Backup systems, cloud storage, file archiving
