A Quasigroup Based Cryptographic System

This paper presents a quasigroup encryptor that has very good data-scrambling properties and, therefore, it has potential uses in symmetric cryptography. The purpose of the scrambler is to maximize the entropy at the output, even in cases where the input is constant. The great complexity associated with the task of finding the scrambling transformation ensures the effectiveness of the encryption process. Quasigroup (or Latin squares) encryption is a development that has permutation based scrambling [1-6] at its basis.
