Abstract
An encryption specification named “MetaEncrypt” implemented as a method and associated apparatus is disclosed for unbreakable encryption of data, code, applications, and other information that uses a symmetric key for encryption/decryption and to configure the underlying encryption algorithms being utilized to increase the difficulty of mathematically modeling the algorithms without possession of the key. Data from the key is utilized to select several encryption algorithms utilized by MetaEncrypt and configure the algorithms during the encryption process in which block sizes are varied and the encryption technique that is applied is varied for each block. Rather than utilizing a fixed key of predetermined length, the key in MetaEncrypt can be any length so both the key length and key content are unknown. MetaEncrypt's utilization of key data makes it impossible to model its encryption methodology to thereby frustrate cryptographic cracking and force would be hackers to utilize brute force methods to try to guess or otherwise determine the key.
