class MathObfuscationConverter(*, min_n: int = 2, max_n: int = 9, hint: str | None = None, suffix: str | None = None, rng: Random | None = None)

Bases: PromptConverter

Convert text into character-level algebraic identities.

This converter encodes each character of the input text into an equation of the form X = nX - (n - 1)X, where n is a randomly chosen integer greater than or equal to 2. This creates a deterministic, reversible obfuscation of the original input.

The transformation follows these rules:

• Each non-space character becomes one algebraic line.

• Space characters are represented as blank output lines.

• Newline characters are preserved as blank output lines.

An inline hint is added after the first equation, and a suffix instruction is appended to prompt the model to decode the content.

__init__(*, min_n: int = 2, max_n: int = 9, hint: str | None = None, suffix: str | None = None, rng: Random | None = None) → None

Initialize a MathObfuscationConverter instance.

Parameters:

• min_n (int) – Minimum integer value used for n in X = nX - (n - 1)X. Must be greater than or equal to 2.

• max_n (int) – Maximum integer value used for n. Must be greater than or equal to min_n.

• hint (Optional[str]) – Inline hint appended to the first equation line. If None, uses the default hint explaining the variable encoding. Set to empty string “” to disable hint entirely.

• suffix (Optional[str]) – Custom suffix to append after the obfuscated text. If None, uses the default suffix prompting the model to decode. Set to empty string “” to disable suffix entirely.

• rng (Optional[random.Random]) – Optional random number generator instance used to produce reproducible obfuscation results. If omitted, a new instance of random.Random() is created.

Raises:

ValueError – If min_n is less than 2 or max_n is less than min_n.

Methods

async convert_async(*, prompt: str, input_type: Literal['text', 'image_path', 'audio_path', 'video_path', 'url', 'reasoning', 'error', 'function_call', 'tool_call', 'function_call_output'] = 'text') → ConverterResult

Convert text into algebraic obfuscated form.

Each non-space character in the input string is transformed into a corresponding algebraic identity. Space characters are represented as blank output lines, preserving word boundaries. Newline characters are preserved as block breaks in the output.

Parameters:

• prompt (str) – Input text to be transformed.

• input_type (PromptDataType) – Expected to be “text”. Other types are not supported.

Returns:

An instance containing the obfuscated text and output format.

Return type:

ConverterResult

Raises:

ValueError – If input_type is not “text”.

input_supported(input_type: Literal['text', 'image_path', 'audio_path', 'video_path', 'url', 'reasoning', 'error', 'function_call', 'tool_call', 'function_call_output']) → bool

Checks if the input type is supported by the converter.

Parameters:

input_type (PromptDataType) – The input type to check.

Returns:

True if the input type is supported, False otherwise.

Return type:

bool

output_supported(output_type: Literal['text', 'image_path', 'audio_path', 'video_path', 'url', 'reasoning', 'error', 'function_call', 'tool_call', 'function_call_output']) → bool

Checks if the output type is supported by the converter.

Parameters:

output_type (PromptDataType) – The output type to check.

Returns:

True if the output type is supported, False otherwise.

Return type:

bool
