"A Puzzling Approach to Encryption"

An advancement in data security is discussed in the International Journal of Information and Computer Security. The Japanese puzzle known as Sudoku promises a cryptographic system for text information, which works even in situations where there is limited computational power. The approach could be applied to Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) devices, medical devices, remote sensing networks, smart cards, and more. A team of researchers from Isra University, Iraq University College, and Al-Maaqal University demonstrated how the dynamic nature of the Sudoku puzzle could be used as the foundation of a secret encryption key or cipher to unlock a new approach to securing sensitive information. According to the researchers, the approach's dynamic nature significantly improves the security of the system. The team's results show that this approach outperforms other experimental lightweight cryptography methods. This article continues to discuss the message encryption scheme inspired by the Sudoku puzzle.
