GEE Specifications

• Supports key-based symmetric or asymmetric encryption algorithms

• Encrypts each bit of data only one time (not cascade encryption or a one-time pad)

• Does not: segment, organize, augment, modify, format, and/or change portions of plaintext bytes

• No modifications to encryption algorithms themselves or additional inputs to algorithms

• No extra metadata transmission, beyond what a cipher 1naturally uses for encryption

• Uses a novel SuperKey concept: 8 different keys, up to 8 different ciphers

• Uses encryption parameters that algorithms 1naturally support

  >Key sizes, initialization vectors (“IV”), padding, associated data, HMACs

  >Symmetric encryption keys may use same/different: key sizes, IVs, padding

  >Asymmetric encryption keys may use same/different: key sizes, padding

• Input RSA message byte size (“M”) is increased by ~8 times (8M-1), if keys are the same size

• Encrypted data length

  >Asymmetric encryption: ciphertext length equals SuperKey length

  >Symmetric encryption:  ciphertext length equals plaintext length + any cipher padding

footnotes:

1. Symmetric and asymmetric encryption use/generate a different set of encryption/decryption parameters
