New Class of Ciphers Using Hardware Entropy Source

arXiv:2404.09288v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We present a novel, computationally simple method of hiding any message in the stream of random bits by using a secret key. The method is called Bury Among Random Numbers (BARN). A stream of random bits is produced by extracting the entropy of a physical process in a hardware-based true random number generator (TRNG). The process of placing bits of a message into the stream of random bits is governed by the number of random …
