abstract
A stream cipher is any sort of encryption which adds letters to a message in order to prevent it being read by a person other than the intended recipient. The letters added become the key to both encryption and successful decryption, and as the key is as long as the message it can be fairly expensive to implement such a system securely. I developed a modification to the stream cipher, which incorporates “merging” the message into itself in a nice way in addition to the standard stream cipher encryption. The final result is much more resistant to a partial-knowledge attack on the message and so weaker keys may be used to achieve equivalent security. I will discuss how the cipher works, and the security results I obtained after implementing and testing the system. note
