Encryption.m
Aim:
A program/function with the capacity to encrypt/decrypt any phrase consisting of only letters and
numbers (capitalised and spaces included), with the added functionality of 2 different passwords/keys
and unique representations of letters will be used for increased security. Several checks should also be
in place to ensure code runs smoothly.
The purpose of this program is to be used to send secure messages or sensitive information over a
network that is being monitored. The sender should be able send an encrypted message that cannot be
viewed by an unwanted person. The receiver should be able to decrypt the encryption using the
password related keys and read the message accurately.
Background/Theory:
Encryption is related to the theory of cryptography, which is a systematic approach to protecting

information over computer networks (Dan Boneh and Victor Shoup, 2016). Usually used to ensure two
people can communicate whilst third parties cannot understand the information being received, the
process of converting normal text into secret code is called ciphering (Gary C. Kessler, 2019). Whilst
this sounds simple in theory, the development of software to penetrate and obtain sensitive data has
increased (Alexander W. Dent, 2006). Thus, the necessity for strong encryption methods is required for
data used for banking, storing passwords and other personal information.
Cryptography requires five different aspects to function properly in order for the delivery to execute
well. These five are (Gary C. Kessler, 2019):
1. Privacy: To ensure messages sent are secure and not being read by unwanted recipients.
2. Authenticity: To prove and acknowledge that the sender sent the message.
3. Integrity: Works consistently the same using the same information, however cannot be
misrepresented mid-transmission.
4. Acknowledgement: Receiver is able to prove the message was sent by the intended sender,
additionally with proof.
5. Key transfer: A method of transferring keys used for the encryption.
The encryption process is as follows: Alice (sender) sends normal generic text (plain text) into a
process or program which converts into ciphered text (secret code), thus able to send ciphered text over
a server. An observer (Oscar) without the encryption program cannot read ciphered text, thus the
receiver (Bob) can decipher the text and read it privately.
Alice sends (plain text)  Cipher Process (ciphered text)  Server
Server Oscar receives (ciphered text)
Server Bob (ciphered text)  Cipher Process (plain text)  Bob receives (plain text)
There exists different methods of cryptography each with their own strengths and weaknesses, thus
different methods share different purposes for encryption (Gary C. Kessler, 2019). Symmetric Keys are
used as the name suggests symmetrically, this is done by using the same key for encryption as well as
decryption (Kefa Rabah, 2005). The name ‘private key’ is used as it assumes both the sender and

receiver have predetermined the password prior to encryption (Kefa Rabah, 2005). Some initial
problems with this method is the exchange of the private key, the key needs a secure form of
communication in order to exchange information by either through a secure network or in person
(Satish et al., 2012).
An asymmetric key system works differently in that it has a public key attributed with the code to be
ciphered, this system allows communication to occur secretly without the initial secret exchange (Kefa
Rabah, 2005). Two keys are used, the private key and a public key (Satish et al., 2012). Typically users
encrypt using the public key whilst decrypting using the private key, this allows in theory for multiple
users to send and receive messages securely (Satish et al., 2012).
For symmetric key systems, there consists of two different types: stream ciphers and block ciphers.
Stream cipher systems look at each bit of data individually by using a feedback system in which the
key is constantly changing, whilst block cipher systems use the same key to change different ‘blocks’
of data (Satish et al., 2012).
However methods can vary between symmetric key and asymmetric key systems. A symmetric
substitution method for example, takes bits of data from the input and modifies it using an algorithmic
relationship in a way that makes it difficult for someone to view the output and trace it back to the input
(Kefa Rabah, 2005). Contrastingly, the transposition method for asymmetric key systems changes two
bits of information whilst maintaining all other information (Kefa Rabah, 2005).
The encryption program I have designed uses a symmetric substitution method; therefore for security it
is required to use an algorithmic method of converting data. Whilst the idea of using a public key is
enticing, my program will be using a private key system due to the complexity of public key systems.
My method also uses a block cipher method, by this it uses the key to change blocks of data that
represent characters for every bit of data. It therefore handles each character individually and in theory
each character should be represented differently. However vulnerabilities may be present with the
algorithmic method used and therefore should not be used to encrypt sensitive data.
It should be noted that I do use variables labelled ‘Public Key’ as I did intend to use some sort of Public
Key system, however, later I relied more heavily on a private key system due to complexity issues.
Thus, the Public Key used in my program is just an extended private key. Without both keys, the
decryption process cannot be executed.
For storing data, I will be using MatLab’s containers.Map() function.
General (How my function works):
1. All variables are defined:

o Private key
o Public Key
o Phrase
o Whether the user wants to encrypt or decrypt
 Simple integer input function can be used. 1 for Encrypt, 2 for Decrypt
o Set for pre-set data sets per character.
 E.g. Letter_A = ‘woseG’
2. Simple checks are in place to ensure data parameters are met such as:
o Only letters/numbers

 Uses a system in which compares string data to a pre-set string variable. If the
inputted string has a character which is not approved, the code will result in a
logical result of False or 0. It will check every letter of the string.
 Using a variable we can check every letter, by using an array of logically defined
information we can see if something is there that shouldn’t be.
 private_key(PrKCheck:PrKCheck) == Sample_withspace;
o Integer within correct range
 Simple OR statement can be used: 1 || 2
3. Change private key into an encrypted language that can be used
o Using the database set for characters, replace every character with its corresponding
encrypted text
 Example: ‘aa’ would be changed into ‘woseGwoseG’
4. Using a substituted cipher method, convert the raw converted password into an easy to handle
compact form.
o A separate function has been designed to handle this for several parts of the function.
Named strhandle(). This function handles a string and transforms it uniquely but also in
a reproducibly way so that it can be replicated reliably.
 It uses a frequency variable in which if the same frequency is used for the same
target letter, the output will always be the same. A target letter is the character to
be transformed or converted; each character has its own pre-set string.
 The process involves moving around the string characters to different positions.
For example:
 ‘12345’  ‘23451’  ‘34512’ …ect
 After a while it reaches a point where all possible combinations are
obtained by moving one letter to the back. Thus moving one letter by two
spaces instead of one is needed: ‘12345’  ‘21345’
 It can now repeat the one step procedure of moving characters to the back
 After those options are exhausted, we can now move the front character
by 3 spaces… ‘12345’  ‘23145’
 Repeating this pattern until all options are exhausted
 Frequency is counted for every change made, if the frequency variable equals the
count… the function stops and the result is produced.
o By using strhandle() we can have a different database for every step we take and
therefore same characters will be represented by different code.
o By using this database (separate from the database for letters) we can change the target
letter. If the target letter is ‘w’, the code looks for the database for ‘w’ and by using
strhandle() it has been set that for string ‘w’ it now changes into ‘I’. However, because
this code handles every character individually, one step will look like this:
‘woseGwoseG’  ‘IoseGwoseG’
 Future steps will be different, so that both ‘w’ characters are not the same.
Example: ‘IoseGwoseG’ could end up being ‘I4gT2pllg9’ where ‘I’ and ‘p’ are
where ‘w’ used to be.
o It does this for the raw encrypted password until it equals a length of 15. It takes the
back letter and changes the first letter, and then it takes the back letter and changes the
second letter, deleting the last letter each time a change is made.
5. Once the password is compact to a length of 15. Each first character of the private key and
public key are compared and converted using the same strhandle() process. Example:
o Compact private key = ‘abcde12345ABCDE’
o Public key = ‘zyxwu09876ZYXWU’

 For the first instance ‘a’ is the target letter, using a frequency of 1. ‘z’ is inputted
into the fresh database created by target ‘a’ and frequency ‘1’ which produces
‘P’.
 For the second instance ‘b’ is the target letter, using a frequency of 2. ‘y’ is
inputted into the fresh database created by target ‘b’ and frequency ‘2’ which
produces ‘u’.
 So far producing an end result ‘Pu’…
 Process is repeated for all characters.
6. Once the new password has been created using the private and public key, the phrase must now
be converted into encrypted code. To do this, it will use the letters database.
o The first letter of the new password is compared for every first letter of the database and
then changed using strhandle().
o After the second letter of the new password is compared for every second letter of the
database… and so forth until every letter of every character has been changed
completely.
o Once we have our new formed character database we can now change the first letter of
the phrase into encrypted code. Example:
 If the first letter of the phrase is ‘A’ it may be converted from ‘woseG’ to
‘N5jaP’ so that for this first instance ‘A’ equals ‘N5jaP’ instead of ‘woseG’.
This is repeated for every letter in the phrase.
 We change the whole database instead of just one character so that we remain
consistent and can retrace our steps for decryption. If we only changed one
character for encryption it would become very difficult to separate what
character is meant to be decrypted, thus if all are changed in the same sequence
we only need to keep count of how many time we overall change character code.
7. Contrastingly if we intend to decrypt code, the phrase will be 5 times longer than before. So we
know how many overall characters are present. Thus we can look at each individual character in
sequence and change the database in the same way. If we are able to pair ‘woseG’ to ‘A’ we
then convert accordingly.
Examples:
>> encryption
Type 1 for Encryption
Type 2 for Decryption
Please note, only use letters and numbers
Spaces are permitted in passwords and phrases
>1
Input password: kyle!!!
Please input only letters and numbers
Input password: WineBottleLateNite5
Input phrase: hehehehehe
Type 1 to get new public key
Type 2 to reuse old public key
>1
Your public key is: E1Z2jOYimLJfVHI
New phrase: Ht0dkoBNGJoJM63TCwisLdjGuzLdxMigiN5OLWOooeSBbLZJlD

>2
Input password: WineBottleLateNite5
Input phrase: Ht0dkoBNGJoJM63TCwisLdjGuzLdxMigiN5OLWOooeSBbLZJlD
>2
Please input public key: E1Z2jOYimLJfVHI
New phrase:
'hehehehehe'
Notes: For this example it can be seen that the check works correctly and thus ensures only the correct
letters/numbers are present. The final produced encryption is:
‘Ht0dkoBNGJoJM63TCwisLdjGuzLdxMigiN5OLWOooeSBbLZJlD’. We can break up this code to
see how the program handles different ‘h’ and ‘e’ characters.
Ht0dk oBNGJ oJM63 TCwis LdjGu zLdxM igiN5 OLWOo oeSBb LZJlD
h e h e h e h e h e
This works as intended.
However if we use a password that is similar to the original but is not quite the same, some code may
be decrypted despite not having the complete password. Although as the password length increases and
becomes more complex the security of the encryption increases also. Example:
>> encryption
>2
Input password: winebottlelatenite5
>2
New phrase:
>2
Input password: WineBottleLateNite
>2
New phrase:

>2
Input password: wineBottleLateNite5
>2
New phrase:
Note: In this attempt no result is produced despite being very similar to original password.
For this example the original password used was ‘kylep’ and the original public key was
‘yefgo9KJCEFsdqD’ producing a final encrypted message of
‘VutGz720PxSRBiNOTRnLljwIIF6u67jACeVJaHlEgbWi9SKXBesBeBT’. However the following
variations did not produce any results:
 kyle
 kyleo
 kyle1
 kylee
 kyleP
 Kylep
Example:
>> encryption
>1
Input password: kylep
Input phrase: Hello world
>1
Your public key is: yefgo9KJCEFsdqD
New phrase: VutGz720PxSRBiNOTRnLljwIIF6u67jACeVJaHlEgbWi9SKXBesBeBT
>2
Input password: kyle
Input phrase: VutGz720PxSRBiNOTRnLljwIIF6u67jACeVJaHlEgbWi9SKXBesBeBT
>2

Please input public key: yefgo9KJCEFsdqD
New phrase:
>2
Input password: kyleo
>2
New phrase:
>2
Input password: kyle1
>2
New phrase:
>2
Input password: kylee
>2
New phrase:
>2
Input password: kyleP
>2
New phrase:

>2
Input password: Kylep
>2
New phrase:
Note: This suggests this program is reliable even at shorter passwords.
Example:
>> encryption
>1
Input password: 4389amsd23
Input phrase: Hello world can you read me
>1
Your public key is: HrR0ULGhK4cyvZp
New phrase:
MpOlZeC9IcXGk2RGl6taGaCLRqCTsGqdQWI1Ldc8Ql44zpJec63QabOSST9Vplp0L79egdJ3zwvOe

Input password: 4389amsd23
Input phrase:

Please input public key: HrR0ULGhK4cyvZp
New phrase:
'Hello world can you read me'
Note: works as intended.

Conclusion
Overall the function works great; however a few things can be determined such as how many
characters are originally present. Also it may be possible to work backwards to find the passcode, this
is due to the systematic way this function works. However it may take some serious time to hack, I am
not sure. It is possible to produce a letter or two with the wrong password, although it proved difficult
to replicate, if this is possible, it could be evidence that this encryption method isn’t as secured as
planned. Despite this, it works well.
