As it has been stated previously, DiceLock cipher was conceived in 1.998 as an attempt to get closer encryption algorithms to the final user, to the current people that were going to use encryption technology in non technological environment and uses.

Tha idea was to check if some encryption algorithm in those days were producing randomized streams. Random is a concept that every person understands, everybody understands that if a stream is at random there is no relation between the members, between bits or between bytes. Furthermore, from a technical and mathematical point of view, randomized-encrypted text sequences have no relation between the bits and any possible hidden pattern have been removed.

DiceLock's randomized-encrypted text sequences can be checked by the user (sender and receiver) to verify that they are random number streams with the appropiate applied random number tests. But there is an important way to emphasize the concept to the final user, the name.

At DiceLock Security we were looking for a name that could get both concepts, encryption (to hide the information making it unavailable to third parties) and randomness (there is no relation between tha data in the stream).

The term lock has been used in a lot of encryption products to show that there is no unauthorized access to the information, and is short and everybody understands it.

The second characteristic of DiceLock is that it produces randomized text sequences, and we had to find a short and direct term that could emphasize it too. Everybody knows how a dice behave, everybody knows that dice are one of the best samples of randomness indication.

So, we got it, randomizer-encrypter cipher was going to be called "DiceLock", a name that shows both main characteristics (encryption and randomization at the same time) that everybody can understand.

At this moment DiceLock® and logo is the registered trademark or trademark representing the randomization-encryption algorithm in European Union, United States and/or others owned by the respective owners.
