Respectfully, your proposal does break encryption.
I am happy to spend as much time as you need reviewing in as much detail as you are comfortable with exactly how it breaks encryption, and why this is so dangerous.

TL;DR: FAEST is highly efficient AES-based digital signature scheme. It has <1ms sign/verify with 6.3KB signatures (fast mode) or 8ms sign/verify with 5KB (small mode) for 128bit security.
