Abstract

In this paper, we propose a prime code and a new cryptographic algorithm for encryption and decryption as its application. The characteristics of prime numbers with irregular distribution and uniqueness are used to generate the prime code. Based on the prime code, an encryption algorithm for secret key is presented. Since the algorithm requires simpler operations than existing encryption such as DES, the burden for hardware implementation of the encryption and decryption process is alleviated.
