Cryptography is fundamental in data security and is a critical tool in safeguarding information from “unauthorized” view during the storage and transportation of data. Due to the one-to-one correspondence between plain text and cipher text, encryption algorithms are transformation processes. This implies that all information is present, though encrypted, in the cipher text. Inspired by Jigsaw puzzles, a new cryptography system, Jigsaw Cryptography System (JCS) is proposed where a single plain text file results in many cipher text files, resembling jigsaw pieces from a single image. Thus, the interception of a small number of cipher text files may not compromise the entire contents in plain text. This can result in larger permutations needed to decipher by brute force, which is not easily achievable in most cryptographic methods.
