The present invention is directed to a three-phase encryption method and a
three-phase decryption method, and an apparatus implementing the
three-phase encryption method and/or the three-phase decryption method.
To encrypt a message according to the three-phase encryption method, a
content of a message is converted from a first form M to a second form
M'; the content of the message is separated according to a spacing
pattern; and the content of the message is scrambled according to a
scrambling pattern. To decrypt the message encrypted using the
three-phase encryption method, the scrambling and spacing patterns are
reversed, and the content of the message is converted from the second
form M' to the first form M.
