Abstract: A data encryption method using linear-feedback shift registers (LFSRs) is disclosed. The method includes identifying one or more objects each of which comprises a sequence of object bits, and using each object to generate a plurality of logic blocks by: creating an LFSR seed comprising at least a portion of the object bits of the object, wherein the LFSR seed provides an initial state of an LFSR; implementing the LFSR to generate a plurality of LFSR outputs; and using the LFSR outputs to generate the logic blocks. The method also includes encrypting a plurality of data blocks in accordance with an encryption scheme that applies a screen and the LFSR-generated logic blocks. The encrypted data blocks may then be decrypted in accordance with a decryption scheme that applies an inverse screen and the same LFSR-generated logic blocks that were used in the encryption scheme.

Abstract: A plurality of data blocks are encrypted in accordance with an encryption scheme that transforms a data block into an encrypted data block by: performing a bit modification operation on the data block using one or more logic blocks generated for the data block to thereby generate a first intermediate state data block; performing a bit remapping operation on the first intermediate state data block using at least one encryption screen to thereby generate a second intermediate state data block; and performing a bit modification operation on the second intermediate state data block using one or more logic blocks generated for the data block to thereby generate the encrypted data block. The encrypted data blocks may then be decrypted in accordance with a decryption scheme that applies at least one decryption screen and the same logic blocks that were used in the encryption scheme.

Abstract: A system and method is provided for encrypting data for secure storage or transport. The method includes generating object-based wave screen(s) and optionally stumbling block(s) and/or XOR block(s) associated with a block map layout. For each data segment to be encrypted, the method includes positioning the bits of the data segment within the block map layout to generate a data map, and encrypting the data map by applying the object-based wave screen(s) and optionally the stumbling block(s) and/or XOR block(s) to remap the positions of the bits within the block map layout. The encrypted data map is then stored or transported as a representation of the data segment.
