Abstract
Personal data is constantly being compromised not just by the normal identity thefts but also abnormal attacks. A continuous search on new paradigm of nonparametric cryptographs led to the discovery of ethno-mathematics for substitution block-cipher boxes. The objects are based on extracted Al-Qur’an and Al-Hadith symbols by use of ethno-mathematical functions. The extracted objects were insufficient to build the 256-bit block ciphers. The development of expanding objects from Jawi scripts may fill the gap for a 256-bit block cipher. Initial tests for algebraic attacks indicate ethno-mathematical block-cipher resistance to be better than the random parametric Khazad and Anubis Block Ciphers.
