Project Title:

A Mathematical Approach to Layered Cryptography

Modern industry demands secure data transfer. In many cases, the data being transferred is sensitive or private and the consequences of this data falling into the wrong hands could be the downfall of an entire organization. The subject of our program is to use a mathematical approach to data decryption. Our program will utilize several original and popular means of cryptography. This program will incorporate multiple layers of advanced algorithms and various other mathematical techniques to make a truly bona fide line of communication between a sender and recipient. We hope to devise new and beneficial approaches to cryptography. We plan to use this experience to its fullest potiential.
