A study of authenticated communication based on magic square and Goldbach’s conjecture

Abstract

Although the magic square is a historical and universal study, its progress has been limited, to numeric games, which is closer to digital games or word games, and lacks the connection with mainstream mathematics. Recently, its study has extended from exciting mathematical games to various novel applications, such as image encryption, decryption processing, watermarking solutions, and student group learning problems, or different engineering applications. In terms of employment in information security, it is the blue ocean that requires more innovative research to enrich its content. In this study, we engage the magic square and Goldbach’s Conjecture to develop an innovative method to search prime numbers.
