This Demonstration shows an encryption code based on Le\:015bniewski'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: .
