FendOff encryption software to secure personal information on computers and mobile devices
This addresses data security for general users on personal devices, but it appears incremental as it builds on existing cryptographic concepts without specifying major breakthroughs.
The paper tackles securing personal data on computers and mobile devices by developing VSEM cryptographic cipher modules based on one-time pseudorandom pads and transpositions, resulting in encryption applications for iOS, Android, Windows, and Mac OS that protect passwords, credit card info, and files.
The paper describes several original cryptographic cipher modules (VSEM) that are based on using one time pseudorandom pad and pseudorandom transpositions. The VSEM includes 4 modules of encryption that can be applied in combinations. We studied ability of these modules to secure the private data against attacks and their speed of encryption. The VSEM encryption was implemented in Fendoff applications for mobile devices on iOS and Android platforms as well as in computer application running Window or Mac OS. We describe these applications designed to encrypt/decrypt various personal data such as passwords, credit card or bank information as well as to secure content of any text or image files.
