Encryption and decryption of binary numbers by use of Karnaugh tables with each figure of a binary number assigned a field in the Karnaugh table as well as a marking bit

摘要

Method for encrypting a binary number using a Karnaugh table in which each binary numbers figures is assigned a predefined field from the Karnaugh table, the predefined fields are marked with a marking bit and the marked fields of the Karnaugh table are used to encrypt the binary number. An independent claim is made for a method for decrypting an encrypted binary number using a Karnaugh table. The invention also relates to a corresponding computer program for implementation of the inventive methods.
