This Demonstration shows an encryption code based on Leśniewski's 16 Boolean ring forms for propositional functions of two arguments, also extended to 32 elements using filled circles. A plaintext consists of a sequence of elements from a Boolean ring and is encrypted using another sequence (the key) of the same length. Suppose the corresponding elements at position are and ; then the corresponding element of the encryption is . A receiver then decrypts the plaintext using the key: .
Leśniewski, Mazurkiewicz and Sierpiński helped the Polish army decode Soviet military communications. Their work was instrumental in the decisive 1920 defeat of Soviet invading forces in the suburbs of Warsaw [1].
