Abstract
A pre-encryption process for symmetric encryption processes that inputs a bit stream into any existing or future encryption standard to increase encryption complexity with a disproportionate increase in processing time. The first encoding step is the two-stage generation of two strong keys based on a seed strong crypto key and known information from the Source Data bit stream. The second step is to split and encode the bit stream based on entropy levels. After entropy coding, the aligned bit streams are multiplexed in a cyclic fashion to generate one resulting bit stream. The third step is to slice the resulting bit stream into blocks, encrypting each block and adding each block to a coded output bit stream. Each new strong crypto key is derived from the previous crypto key and the previous pre-processed bit stream data. The decoding process is provided that is a simplified inverse of the encoding process.
