Assignment Details:

Encryption is fundamental to the everyday function of the modern world. Every time you make a mobile phone call, buy something with a credit card in a shop or on the web or even get cash from an ATM, encryption ensures the confidentiality and security of the transaction to make it possible. For this assignment you are required to:

• Produce an encryption algorithm to secure communications performed
• Your encryption algorithm can be completely novel or inspired by existing algorithms

Instructions for fulfilling the task:

• Present a reflective summary of the current cybersecurity threat landscape.
• Include the full specifications of the inspiring algorithms as well as your own examples to demonstrate your understanding. Describe the weaknesses and strengths of those algorithms and explain why you chose them.
• As a part of the specification of your algorithm, include the following:
  1. a full explanation of your encryption algorithm
  2. a full explanation of your decryption algorithm
  3. examples to clarify the steps
  4. diagram with the steps for both encryption and decryption algorithm
  5. complete analysis of your own algorithm including its strengths and weaknesses and its best application
