Photonic implementation of message generation for digital currency transactions

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising stored instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:

• initiate reception of input data of a first size by an input photonic circuit of a photonic processor including an array of lasers and an array of photonic intensity modulators, a first portion of the input data associated with a first subset of a plurality of input messages that do not comprise parts of a nonce, the first subset comprises an input message received in a plurality of optical wavelengths, a second portion of the input data associated with a second subset of the plurality of input messages comprising a plurality of increments of the nonce, each input message in the second subset comprises a corresponding increment of the nonce represented as a corresponding optical wavelength of the plurality of optical wavelengths;
• initiate, at the input photonic circuit, splitting of the input data into the plurality of input messages of a second size;
• initiate reception of the plurality of input messages at a message generation photonic circuit of the photonic processor directly connected to the input photonic circuit;
• and
• instruct the message generation photonic circuit to generate a plurality of output messages of the second size based at least in part on the plurality of input messages.
