Increasing Encryption Strength through the Alteration of Data Readability without a Key

ISEF · 2015

Williamson, Jakob

Is this your project?

Overview

This program was created to eliminate the need for public and private keys. It was designed to be the only party knowledgeable of the encrypted data, besides the creator. The program infinitely encrypts a block of data’s visual output. This ciphertext is difficult, if not impossible to read by a human. The program tracks its own progress, and uses the data itself as a quasi-key within its own coding. This forces the user to know parts of the data before the can view the rest. Terminating the program also leaves all data in ciphertext, restricting the readability of the data.
