A dynamic computer communication security encryption method or system using an initial seed key and multiple random number generators of a specific design, whereby a sequence of independent random entropy values is produced by one set of random number generators and encrypted along with the message stream using the initial seed key, or the output of a second set of random number generators initialized with the initial seed key, and following the subsequent transmission of the variable encrypted entropy/message block, the entropy values are used to symmetrically or identically augment or increase the current uncertainty or entropy of the cryptosystem at both the sender and the receiver, prior to the next encryption block operation. The encryption process effectively entailing the use of multiple encryption ciphers, and the entropy augmentation process entailing the encryption or application of various logical mathematical operations on the already dynamic but deterministic internal state values of the second set of random number generators, effectively altering their deterministic outputs in a random probabilistic manner.

Random length message value sequences from one or more data sources is combined with one or more random length entropy value sequences from an independent source, following which the entropy “updates” may also be used to alter, or change any cryptosystem variable, value or component in a randomly determined manner. In addition, whilst ensuring synchronization, the random entropy sequences also serve to “pollute” the cipher-stream and thereby hinder most current forms of cryptanalysis, whilst simultaneously injecting additional entropy into the cryptographic system and allowing for its propagation to affect any connected system nodes, and thereby introducing unpredictable entropy into the system pseudorandom number generator outputs, and thereby ensuring the perpetual generation of unpredictable random numbers.

Super-encryption mechanics are independent of the user data, simple, fast and efficient, and can incorporate compression, error correction and asymmetric encryption authentication routines. But most importantly, super-encryption ensures resistance to brute force attacks (not possible to verify if a message was even sent), an ability to exceed “perfect secrecy” requirements, and an improvement on previous super-encipherment design, since overhead can be dramatically reduced from 100% overhead.

Communication links previously established by system nodes with central authorities may be used for secure node authentication and registration, whilst allowing the central authority to broker and synchronize communication channels and providing mutual authentication and other security functions between the system nodes.

A block key to encrypt block data is generated using an ATS (arrival time stamp) appended to each of TS (transport stream) packets included in a transport stream correspondingly to the arrival time of the TS packet. The ATS is a random data depending upon an arrival time, and so a block-unique key can be generated, which enhances the protection against data cryptanalysis. A block key is generated from a combination of an ATS with a key unique to a device, recording medium or the like such as a master key, disc-unique key, title-unique key or the like. Since an ATS is used to generate a block key, any area for storage of an encryption key for each block may not be provided in a recording medium.

A risk is determined based on a determination that the received password is derived from the user information.

A method for enhancing the security of cryptographic systems against side channel attacks and cryptanalysis is based on the concept of object hopping or dynamic transformation of elements between objects that share the same category and/or floating objects which facilitate object hopping. The use of floating objects and floating finite fields to facilitate field hopping is also disclosed. Further, the use of curve hopping and floating elliptic curves to facilitate curve hopping and/or key floating when keys used in cryptosystems are floated through floating fields are also used for enhancing the security of cryptographic systems.

An encrypting apparatus includes an encrypting operation section, a determining section and a control section. The encrypting operation section carries out an encrypting operation to a plaintext using intermediate data at each of a plurality of encrypting stages of the encrypting operation to produce a ciphertext. The encrypting operation section outputs encrypting stage data indicating an encrypting state at each of the plurality of processing stages. The determining section determines whether the encrypting operation at a next encrypting stage should be changed, based on the encrypting stage data at a current encrypting stage from the encrypting operation section. The control section changing the encrypting operation at the next encrypting stage when it is determined that the encrypting operation at the next encrypting stage should be changed.

The invention belongs to a novel encrypting method, in particular relates to a method for encrypting in sections by using an uncertain encryption algorithm. The method is used for encrypting the plain text in sections; and the algorithm for encrypting each section is uncertain and secret and determined by generalized keys. The method adopts the generalized keys to determine the length of each section, the encrypting algorithm of each section, various keys and parameters. Because the algorithm is uncertain, password analyzers do not know where to decrypt, though the analyzers get some information, the information means nothing to decrypt other sections.

A computer hardware implemented cryptography method computes a modular exponentiation, M:=C^d (mod p·q) upon a message data value C using a Chinese Remainder Theorem (CRT) based technique. To secure against cryptanalysis,, the private key moduli p and q are transformed by multiplication with a generated random value s, so that p′:=p·s and q′:=q·s. The CRT steps of the modular exponentiation are applied using the transformed moduli p′ and q′ to obtain a random intermediate message data value M′. A final reduction of M′ modulo p·q yields the final message data value M. Values needed for the computation are loaded into data storage and accessed as needed by electronic processing hardware.

The present encryption apparatus provides a ciphertext which is refractory to a chosen plaintext cryptanalysis in the evaluation of the key update information. The present apparatus is capable of high speed operation by parallel processing and is also capable of maintaining high speed operation by higher multiplication of the parallel operation even when the number of repetitive conversion is increased.

A data encryption system implemented by running on a cache-equipped computer an encryption program including transformation tables each of which contains a predetermined number of entries. All or necessary ones of the transformation tables are loaded into the cache memory before encryption/decryption process. This causes encryption/decryption time to be made substantially equal independently of the number of operation entries for the transformation table. It is very difficult to extract plain texts used to determine a key differential, resulting in difficulties in cryptanalysis.

The invention discloses a multiple uncertainty encryption system with a misleading function, which aims at attacks such as rubber-hose attacks, key stealing, brute force attacks and the like. Multiple encryption is performed, and an algorithm and encryption multiplicity are uncertain, so the system has multiple uncertainty, a password analyzer cannot perform analysis, and even though the brute force attacks are adopted, a plaintext obtained only by incomplete single decryption is meaningless. The encryption multiplicity of the algorithm, encryption algorithms of each layer and keys of each layer are all uncertain, and are all included in a structural master key. The multiple uncertainty makes securer the algorithm. The system is required to comprise an improved one-time pad mechanism, and one-time pad has high reversibility, so the encryption system can obtain pseudo keys in two ways to mislead and confuse the password analyzer, and has high value in military affairs and special occasions.

The invention belongs to the field of information security and relates to construction of encryption algorithm. The password (encryption) algorithm is uncertain and random by using the random function to construct the block encryption method. The uncertainties are determined by partial data in the secret key and some information of plaintext. The encryption method has the advantage that the indeterminacy of the algorithm ensures that the password analysis becomes very difficult as a result of the lack of the information about the algorithm, so that a great amount of known (selected) plaintext ciphertext pair of the same algorithm and the same secret key cannot be acquired, and the condition for password analysis is destroyed to enhance the security. The existing abundant password analysis aims at determined algorithm, and the password analysis is difficult to perform when the algorithm is random. The uncertainty of the password system is increased through multiple ways. The encryption algorithm of the plaintext is uncertain, and the algorithms of different blocks are different, therefore, the secret key space can be increased so as to enhance the safety.

The method disclosed by the invention has a certain application value in encryption applications in various occasions, especially in the military field.
