Abstract

Whitenoise Substitution Stream Cipher is a multi-key-Super key hierarchical cryptographic process. This cryptographic system utilizes a method of encryption that can reasonably be described conceptually as an algorithmic representation of a multi-dimensional encrypting cipher matrix. The Whitenoise algorithm takes several sub keys and then creates a very long non-repeating key stream. This was revised to respond to security concerns brought up in 2003/250.

Note: This improved cipher was revised based on the attack given at http://eprint.iacr.org/2003/250/.
