Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) One of the fundamental methods for eavesdroppers to achieve a plaintext from a cryptogram is the round-robin attack where available decryption keys are exhaustively applied to the decryption procedure. Here the reason why the eavesdroppers find the correct decryption key and the achieved decrypted text is the plaintext is that the decrypted text is readable and contextually valid. This paper proposes a novel cryptography method where "acceptable" pseudo plaintexts which are readable and contextually valid are mixed into a cryptogram with the plaintext. If an eavesdropper applies a pseudo decryption key to the decryption procedure, the pseudo plaintext is achieved that the eavesdropper cannot determine whether it is a plaintext or not. This method can be combined with any existing common-key cryptography and the probability for them to achieve the plaintext extremely decreases.
