SKC-JJU256 ENCRYPTION USING KNIGHTS TOUR SOLUTIONS AS THE MAIN KEY TO CREATE A CRYPTOSYSTEM

摘要

The solutions of open knight's tours identified in the Galois's Field (Gf) are used to encrypt any volume of data. The solution meaning all moves of the Knight's Tour which continues to link the next active node bringing about a Knight's Tour Solution within any specified scope of GF elements. A Knight which is a piece on the standard chess board moves 2 squares up or down and 1 square sideways or vice-versa: These moves alone validate an open Knight's tour. We noticed that the numbers derived from the solution of the Knight's tours are cryptographically secure. The permutation of filling up 4*8 grid or squares with any 26 input have upper bounds in the order 1039—with repetition of any 6 inputs. Relatively, the arrangements of known 128 inputs (ASCII) in 8*16 grid or squares present increased upper bounds. The embodiment uses the Knight's Tour Solutions to create a cipher.
