FMS and FMSE encryption/decryption algorithms using flipping, mapping, and shifting operations

ABSTRACT

Cryptography is one of the most important areas in the computer industry. Encryption allows an application to secure its data from being accessed by hackers. Currently there are many industry-standard encryption/decryption algorithms including RSA, Rijndael, Blowfish [1,2], and so forth. However, they are fairly complex and require that one spend a lot of time to comprehend and implement them. This paper introduces two simple encryption/decryption algorithms that are fast and fairly secure. The algorithms manipulate a 64-bit input using flipping, mapping, and shifting to achieve its encryption/decryption.
