Abstract
DSP-128 is a new multithreaded stream cipher based on the intractability of the Discrete Logarithm Problem (DLP) with key size of 128-bit. The design of DSP-128 is divided into three stages: Initialization Stage, Keystream Generation Stage, and Encryption Stage. The design goal of DSP-128 is to come up with a secure stream cipher with good performance for data encryption. The experimental results show that the encryption rate of DSP-128 is one time slower (running on single processor) than the widely adapted stream cipher RC4, with a higher level of security against possible cryptanalysis attacks. However, because of its multithreaded nature, DSP-128 can take the speed up advantage of multi-core processor architectures which are available widely.

Summary
Cryptography, in modern times, is an intersection branch between Computer Science and Mathematics. The work presented in this paper is introducing a novel work by providing a multithreaded stream cipher based on DLP which is a mathematical Non-deterministic Polynomial (NP)-hard problem [2]. The idea behind our proposed stream cipher is based on the intractability of solving the DLP founded on polynomial arithmetic.
