CuaimaCrypt, a Strong Cryptographic Alternative

CuaimaCrypt is a cypher designed by Julian Bolivar-Galeno in 2007, with improvements suggested by Jonathan Pastran during the development period.

CuaimaCrypt originally had two versions, CuaimaCrypt Stream Codec (CuaimaCrypt-SC) which was designed for hardware implementation, making encoding data streams in real time; and CuaimaCrypt Block Codec (CuaimaCrypt-BC) which was designed for software implementation because it uses the capacity of PCs to process data blocks efficiently.

Currently the most distributed and used is the CuaimaCrypt-BC and I will focus this article on it.

NSA Director says “Encryption is foundational to the future”

Mike RogersSpeaking to the Atlantic Council, a Washington, D.C., National Security Agency (NSA) Director Adm. Mike Rogers stressed that the cybersecurity battles the U.S. is destined to fight call for more widespread use of encryption, not less. “What you saw at OPM, you’re going to see a whole lot more of,” he said, referring to the massive hack of the Office of Personnel Management involving the personal data about 20 million people who have gotten background checks.

NSA Believe that Current Cryptography Algorithms Are Broken by New Quantum Computers

Digital_AtomQuantum computing is a new way to build computers that takes advantage of the quantum properties of particles to perform operations on data in a very different way than traditional computers.

With this computational performance improvement came other risks, and more in the cryptography area where the security resides in apply to the plain data mathematical operations hard to replicate in a reasonable time without the knowledge of specific parameters values.
