Abstract

In this work, a new cryptographic protocol to encrypt text data is proposed. It is based on the use of a particular type of discrete dynamical system called reversible memory cellular automata. It is shown to be secure against the most important cryptanalytic attacks such as brute-force attack, key sensitivity attack, ciphertext-only attack, known-plaintext attack and chosen-plaintext attack.

Keywords
