In one aspect, systems and methods to improve a cryptosystem include computer-implemented operations such as scanning a biometric attribute for comparison with stored biometric data, and generating a keystream based upon the stored biometric data if the scanned biometric attribute substantially matches the stored biometric data. The computer-implemented method may also include operations for encrypting object data, and encrypting final data based upon the keystream and the encrypted object data.

Systems and methods improving cryptosystems with biometrics

A natural language dependent stream cipher is provided to increase complexity of stream cipher encryption. In one aspect, a message is received from a sender as an input in a first natural language and is translated into a selected second natural language. A binary Unicode representation of the input in the second natural language is created. An XOR operation is performed on the binary Unicode representation of the input in the second natural language and a binary key to generate an encrypted output. The encrypted output is sent to a receiver. The encrypted output may be decrypted by the receiver in the reverse of the encryption process. The decryption process yields the original message for viewing by an end-user of the system for a natural language dependent stream cipher.
