1. A method of encrypting digital information comprising a first predetermined number of bits, comprising:

  • selecting a mask comprising a second predetermined number of bits;

    representing the digital information and the mask in a Galois field and commencing a convolution operation of the digital information with the mask by multiplying and adding in the Galois field a first portion of the first predetermined number of bits with a first portion of the second predetermined number of bits to obtain a first resultant;

    temporarily halting said convolution operation after a predetermined number of intermediate steps or shifts;

    selecting an offset integer of a third predetermined number of bits;

    representing the first resultant and the offset integer in the integer ring and performing an integer ring operation between the first resultant and said offset integer to obtain a second resultant of the first predetermined number of bits;

    substituting said second resultant for said first resultant;

    representing the second resultant and the mask in the Galois field and resuming said convolution operation using said second resultant in place of said first resultant by multiplying and adding in the Galois field the remaining portion of the first predetermined number of bits of the second resultant with the remaining portion of the second predetermined number of bits of the mask to obtain encrypted digital information.
