XOR is a basic cryptographic transform, used as a one way function inside of complex cryptosystems. In this paper we propose first of a kind design of the XOR transform with a universal logic designing paradigm. The system offers enhanced security to the transform by propagating randomly generated information along with the XOR output over the unsecured channel. This additional security is a inherent attribute of the actin automata and is exploited in this paper. The system can be enacted on a Partitioned one-Dimensional Quantum Cellular Automata. A simulation of the proposed system is illustrated with Simulink tool in MATLAB. Based on the work done by Adamatzky et al. we observe that the actin automata is capable of operating on quantum input bits and can generate appropriate results when required. In this paper, the actin automata is simulated with classical bits instead of quantum bits for designing the transform. We have also tried to establish the proposed system by means of low power consumption verified with NI Multisim and comparison with cryptographic complexity with traditional XOR transform. Additionally, we have analyzed the system for enhanced cryptanalytic complexity against various attacks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
