摘要:This article defines a new algorithm for a secret key cryptosystem using cellular automata which is a promising approach to cryptography. Our algorithm is based on cellular automata built on a set of reversible rules which have the ability to construct unpredictable secret keys using MARGOLUS neighborhood. To prove the feasibility of the algorithm, we present some tests of encryption, decryption and diffusion; a CPU time comparison with an encryption algorithm by blocks as for instance AES-256 is established. On the other hand, the security of the algorithm is proved and the implemented algorithm resists against a brute force attack.
