Development of Okike’s Merged Irregular Transposition Cipher and Its Level Error

Abstract

Okike’s Merged Irregular Transposition Cipher is a new technique for enciphering information along the superhighway. In this method, a message to be transmitted along the superhighway is first split into parts and each part is encrypted separately before transmission occurs. The positions of the split encrypted messages may be swapped. This work deployed a message with approximately 58 characters to study the behavior of the error level as the message is split from 2 through 10. It was observed that as the number of split increases, the error level decreases. Similarly, the optimal split number occurs when the integer value of the error begins to repeat as is seen when the split number equals 8.
