3. Abstract of the Patent Application for Symmetric Key
Encryption Standard
The present invention relates to a system and a method for
secured transmission of data. The method comprises the
steps of providing the data, generating a password or a key
by a user, encrypting the data by the password or the key for
plural number of times resulting plurality of cipher
texts, sending plurality of the cipher texts and the password
or key, and decrypting the cipher text by the password or the
key. The system comprises input device means for providing
the data, input device means for generating a password by a
user, processor means encrypting the data by the password
or key for plural number of times resulting plurality of cipher
texts, means for sending the plurality of cipher texts and the
password and means for decrypting the cipher text by the
password or key.
4. What the Company does:-
•Our Company has conceived a Symmetric Key Encryption Standard
and has filed for patenting in Indian Patent Office vide application
no.0992/KOL/2011 dated. 26.07.2011 in Kolkata Patent Office Entitled as
“A SYSTEM AND A METHOD FOR USE IN A SYMMETRIC KEY
CRYPTOGRAPHIC COMMUNICATIONS.” And was published in the
Indian Patent Office Journal on 2nd December 2011. Moreover we have
applied for patenting in USPTO vide application no 13/557112 date
24.07.2012 and was published in USPTO Journal on 31.12.2012
•The Company has also applied for a Asymmetric Key cryptographic
Standard and has filed for patenting in Indian Patent Office (I.P.O
Kolkata ) vide application no.446/KOL/2012 dated. 19/04/2012 in
Kolkata Patent Office Entitled as “METHOD FOR ESTABLISHING
SECURE COMMUNICATION IN A NETWORK AND SYSTEM
THEREOF” And was published in the Indian Patent Office(IPO) Journal
on 24/08/2012
5. Technology
Every block cipher involves a transformation of a block of
plain text into block of cipher text, where the transformation
depends on the cipher key. The mechanism of our encryption
procedure seeks to make the statistical relationship between
the plain text and the cipher text as complex as possible to
prevent attempts to derive the cipher key.
The technology a basic building block, which encrypts /
decrypts a fixed size block of data, however to use these in
practice, we usually need to handle arbitrary amount of data
, which may be available in advance, (in which case a block
mode is appropriate).
6. Technology
•Block size: with a view to improve security the block size
has been increased but without any compromise to the
speed of the procedure.
•Key Size: increasing size improves security, makes
exhaustive key searching harder but without any
compromise with the speed of encryption / decryption
function.
•Number of rounds: increasing number of rounds in our
technology shall improve security but without slowing the
Cipher Generation Procedure.
7. CLAPE CIPHER DESIGN PRINCIPLES :
It encrypts 1024 bit blocks of plain text with the Cipher Key having same size
of bits, using appropriate iterations of an elaborate combination of table look
up and bits rearrange.
Through this procedure the password key is being made into a 1024 bit block
size and correspondingly a chunk of plain text of same bit size are being put
into our own encryption algorithm to generate a chunk of cipher text.
It is commonly believed that the strength of the Password much depends on
the method how the encryption algorithm is deployed.
In practicality, it has been observed that the user doesn't always want to use
password as long as needed for effective key generation.
As such responsibility of securing the password of the user rests on the
Encryption Technology.
There is no need for using salts/pass phrases in this technology for
strengthening the password what any common user tends to apply to achieve
utmost security.

The Cryptographic community needs to provide the world with a new
encryption standard.
The few workhorse algorithms for the last few decades are nearing the end
of their useful life cycle.
Moreover the recent attacks as evident in the following links provided
herein:-
9. In this context if the world is to have a secure
reliable and easily available encryption
algorithm by the turn of the decade the world
needs several candidate symmetric Key
encryption algorithms now. These algorithms
have to be subjected to years of public scrutiny
and cryptanalysis. We are confident that our
encryption standard will survive this process
and shall eventually become a new standard.
Mission:-
10. Performance Comparison Study:
This comparison has been conducted to measure
encryption / decryption speed of Clape with
other encryption algorithms like Blow
fish, AES, DES, 3DES etc. at different settings for
each algorithm such as; different sizes of data
blocks, different key sizes, encryption /
decryption speed / power Consumption etc.
11. THIS STUDY EVALUATES SEVEN DIFFERENT
ENCRYPTION ALGORITHMS NAMELY;
AES, DES, 3DES, RC6, BLOWFISH, RC2 & CLAPE.
THE PERFORMANCE MEASURE OF
ENCRYPTION SCHEMES HAS BEEN
CONDUCTED IN TERMS OF CHANGING FILE
SIZE FOR THE SELECTED CRYPTOGRAPHIC
ALGORITHMS.
12. Hardware used: i3 processor 2.10 GHz, 3GB
RAM and i3 processor, 2.20 GHz, 2GB RAM
Energy consumption : It is observed that 600
times of encryption of a 5 MB file utilizes
only 20% (approx) of the available Battery
power of the laptop.
All the tests have been performed on
commonly known file formats.
