contents We theoretically propose a symmetric encryption scheme based on Restricted Boltzmann Machines that functions as a probabilistic Enigma device, encoding information in the marginal distributions of visible states while utilizing bias permutations as cryptographic keys. Theoretical analysis reveals significant advantages including factorial key space growth through permutation matrices, excellent diffusion properties, and computational complexity rooted in sharp P-complete problems that resist quantum attacks. Compatible with emerging probabilistic computing hardware, the scheme establishes an asymmetric computational barrier where legitimate users decrypt efficiently while adversaries face exponential costs. This framework unlocks probabilistic computers' potential for cryptographic systems, offering an emerging encryption paradigm between classical and quantum regimes for post-quantum security.
