A study of four stage encryption: Experimental results

Abstract

The Four Stage Encryption System introduced by Acharyulu and Appaji provides secrecy even when the attacker has some samples of plain texts and their corresponding cipher texts obtained with the same key, because the cipher text generated each time, for the same plain text with the same key, is different. In other words, the system is secure against adaptive chosen-plain text attack. Another interesting feature is that even the size of the cipher text, for given plain text under a given key, is unpredictable. In this paper the use of the system and sensible evidence to the strength of the system are demonstrated by executing it sufficiently large number of times for different choices of plain texts and keys.
