Format-preserving encryption (FPE) is characterized by its ability to maintain data format and length post-encryption while adhering to format constraints
rendering it highly applicable for data anonymization purposes. Current FPE schemes are faced with uncertainties in multiple calls to Cycle-Walking structures or dependencies on mod operations
leading to issues of asymmetry between the original message space and the symmetric ciphertext message space. The dynamic galois field-format-preserving encryption (DGF-FPE) algorithm based on the dynamic galois fields was proposed
which constructed a set of galois fields for multi-field formats that could cover the original message space. Data mapping was performed within the dynamic galois fields to obtain FPE ciphertext that conformed to the format. This approach was addressed to the issues associated with traditional methods that relied on Cycle-Walking or mod operations
and relevant experiments were conducted. Empirical results reveal that datasets encrypted via DGF-FPE exhibit information entropy levels approaching theoretical maxima
thereby substantiating the algorithm’s security profile.
