Military Encryption Challenges

By Milica D. Djekic, Independent Researcher, Subotica, the Republic of Serbia

Abstract:

Army cryptology is a very complex area as it includes cryptography and cryptanalysis. Cryptography is a
practice of transforming plaintext into ciphertext, while cryptanalysis means decryption of communication
or data. Purpose of this effort is to provide summarized insight into all known cryptographic techniques
which are used in defense industry, as well as military doctrine. Also, this article suggests some new
approaches in link and combined encryption. Point of this paper is to provide a deep overview into end-
to-end, link and combined crypto-systems as they are fundamental building blocks in modern army
landscape. In other words, it will be illustrated how proposed methodology works, as well as why it is
significant to make a good synergy between device data storage and communication information
exchange. Experience shows static neutralizer could play a crucial role in rejecting access to some
communication channel. In such a sense, it’s important to understand that link encryption and combined
cryptography might be leveraged with those cutting-edge ideas. Results being provided in this effort will
demonstrate a need for more researches, which can find their place into a concrete defense project. At
this stage, some introductory findings are offered and the other engineers, researchers and scientists
could recognize this effort as a useful starting point into something more comprehensive and impactful.
Presented work is not only a helpful overview, but more likely an authentic root to further explorations.
For engineering, it’s necessary to cope with ingenious methods, which can give unique roads to practice
and experience. In total, sets of similar findings could define a novel tendency in military information
security field.
