Systems and methods for securing communications

A system, comprising:

• at least one computer hardware processor;
• and
• at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing processor-executable instructions that, when executed by at least one computing device, cause the at least one computing device to perform a method for encrypting input data using a cipher associated with a plurality of languages including a first language, the first language associated with a first set of ciphertext symbols, a first permutation for the first set, and a first partition for the first permutation, the method comprising:
• using the at least one processor to perform:
• obtaining, from the input data, a first plaintext symbol;
• mapping the first plaintext symbol to a first ciphertext symbol using the cipher, the mapping comprising:
• identifying a first set of candidate ciphertext symbols using the first plaintext symbol, the first permutation, and the first partition;
• and
• identifying, at random, the first ciphertext symbol from the first set of candidate ciphertext symbols;
• and
• outputting the first ciphertext symbol.

A method for decrypting encrypted data, the encrypted data encrypted using a cipher associated with a plurality of languages including a first language, the first language associated with a first set of ciphertext symbols, a first permutation for the first set, and a first partition for the first permutation, the method comprising:

• obtaining, from the encrypted data, a first ciphertext symbol;
• obtaining a first decryption vector for the first language;
• mapping the first ciphertext symbol to a first plaintext symbol using the first decryption vector;
• and
• outputting the first plaintext symbol.
