Abstract

1:1 assumption Conferences Encryption language patterns letter frequency mappings Probability density function Shannon Theory Information Theory
This paper explores a novel encryption approach that obfuscates the traditional 1-to-1 (1: 1) assumption in cryptographic mappings, where each plaintext input typically corresponds to a unique ciphertext output. By adopting a method in which a single plaintext character can map to multiple ciphertext characters, a distinct decryption pathway can be maintained, thereby bolstering security. The one-to-many and many-to-one reverse mappings are designed to break up patterns and alter the message's original-language probability density function (PDF). By altering the message PDF, traditional heuristic approaches that employ language statistics are invalidated. This strategy, rooted in Shannon and Information Theory, is rigorously tested on a diverse corpus of texts. Our methodology not only enhances the security of encrypted messages by disrupting predictable language patterns and letter frequencies but also paves the way for future research in cryptography.
