1. A method of encrypting a data message, comprising the steps of:

  • (a) providing a first particular data message;

    (b) selecting a first position pattern changing input;

    (c) providing a first position pattern of specific characters, which first pattern serves as an encryption key for said data message, said specific characters in said first pattern being movable from said first pattern to a second one of other possible position patterns within a first group of possible second patterns;

    (d) using said first position pattern, generating one or more first arbitrary patterns of characters, said one or more first arbitrary patterns being different from any one of the patterns in said first group of possible second patterns;

    (e) establishing a second position pattern changing input based at least in part on (i) said first pattern changing input, (ii) said one or more first arbitrary patterns of characters, and (iii) said first message;

    (f) generating a first encrypted data message corresponding to said first particular data message also based at least in part on (i) said first pattern changing input, (ii) said one or more first arbitrary patterns of characters, and (iii) said first message; and

    (g) placing said specific characters into a second one of the position patterns of said first group of possible second position patterns, said second position pattern being based, at least in part, on (i) said second position pattern changing input, said specific characters in said second position pattern being movable from said second pattern to a third one of other possible position patterns within a second group of possible third patterns.
