General encryption enhancement

Abstract

A computerized process is described for improving a computer's asymmetric and symmetric encryption capabilities that results in ciphertext with higher data confidentiality, substantially greater security level, and increased data protection without encrypting any data bit more than one time. The process utilizes computing resources, eight asymmetric/symmetric encryption ciphers, eight different asymmetric/symmetric encryption keys; cipher parameters for each said cipher; and plaintext to be encrypted. A novel mechanism is described that copies bit values from common bit positions of plaintext bytes into eight partitions. Each partition of bytes is independently encrypted using a cipher with its own key and the resulting partitions of encrypted bytes are combined to form ciphertext. As the ciphertext requires eight ciphers and keys for decryption, the ciphertext security level is significantly enhanced over single cipher and key encryption. This process is reversed to decrypt ciphertext to plaintext.
