Abstract
An aspect of cipher text translation includes a memory configured to store predetermined conditions for performing an encryption operation, and a processor communicatively coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to execute computer readable instructions. The computer readable instructions include determining through analysis of an inbound key and an outbound key of the encryption operation that the encryption operation includes a translation from a first class of encryption to a second class of encryption. The second class of encryption is determined to be weaker than the first class of encryption. The instructions also include applying the predetermined conditions to the input key and the output key and authorizing the translation via the processor, based on the applying, when aspects of the predetermined conditions are satisfied.
