Title

Applying confusion and diffusion to create strong ciphers

Goal

To show using a code, demo, or an interactive visual, how diffusion and confusion are enhanced to create strong encryption algorithms

Description

Diffusion and confusion are two primitive operations in block ciphers. The purpose of the project is to investigate/compare how popular encryption algorithms approached these two principles. The second purpose, for a higher level of difficulty, is to suggest new ways to enhance these principles in one or more of these popular ciphers. You are also expected to create a code/demo/interactive visual to demonstrate the above tasks.
