Frequently Asked Questions
- Why CuaimaCrypt is a strong cryptography algorithm?
WinCuaimaCrypt have 3 security levels, “fast”, “normal” and “paranoid”; and that are equivalent to CuaimaCrypt configured in 6, 9 y 16 blocks.
The equation that defines the CuaimaCrypt security level is:
Where ‘N’ is the block numbers.
For N=6 this equation is equal to 1.5383×10^487, and it is equal to log(1.5383×10^487)/log(2) = 1618, because it this security level is equivalent to a 1618 bits code algorithm.
When N=9 this equation is equal to 1.4860×10^729, and it is equal to log(1.4860×10^729)/log(2) = 2422, because it this security level is equivalent to a 2422 bits code algorithm.
And when N=16 this equation is equal to 2.3128×10^1297, and it is equal to log(2.3128×10^1297)/log(2) = 4309, because it this security level is equivalent to a 4309 bits code algorithm.
If we make a security level compared with other well know cryptography algorithms we have this table:
- Blowfish: 448 bits
- AES: 256 bits
- GOST: 256 bits
- REDOC: 160 bits
- IDEA: 128 bits
- MMB: 128 bits
- SAFER K-128: 128 bits
- NewDES: 120 bits
- 3-WAY: 96 bits
- CRAB: 80 bits
- SKIPJACK: 80 bits (Classified by NSA)
- CAST: 64 bits
- Madryga: 64 bits
- FEAL: 64 bits
- LOKI: 64 bits
- SAFER K-64: 64 bits
- DES: 56 bits
Now we can see that WinCuaimaCrytp in “fast” mode have 1610 bits equivalent security, and this is approximate 3.5 times the security level of Blowfish, using a 448 bits key.
And if we know that the number of starts in the visible universe is approximately 7x10^22, and if we compare that WinCuaimaCrypt in “fast” mode the number of options are 1.5383×10^487, we can see that WinCuaimaCrypt is 22 times options that starts in the sky.
Other CuaimaCrypt advantage is in the security level, because it is not defined by the password length, because all keys are generated with don’t care the number of characters in the password. But our recommendation is to use a minimum of 9 characters, because less is easier to be broken by a brute force attack; but as always the password security is a user responsibility.
- CuaimaCrypt is Open Source?
Yes CuaimaCrypt is an Open Source library because the security will be in the codec schema not in hide how it works.
For security reasons all change to the CuaimaCrypt algorithm will be approved by Valhala Networks Developer team.
- WinCuaimaCrypt is Free?
Yes WinCuaimaCrypt is absolutely free for personal use, If you want use it in a commercial or corporate application please contact us for a license quote.

- CuaimaCrypt is supported by any commercial brand?
Yes by Valhala Networks, who has in their higher priority the develop and algorithm support, and his implementation on enterprise level solutions.
- CuaimaCrypt is Secure?
CuaimaCrypt and WinCuaimaCrypt doesn't have any kind of backdoor, because our country (Venezuela) laws allow us to develop this kind of products with the best security level.
- What is CuaimaCrypt and WinCuaimaCrypt?
CuaimaCrypt is a new symmetric key cryptography algorithm designed by Julian Bolivar, and improved by Jonathan Pastran, it want to be the a strong symmetric key cryptography algorithm but maintaining the same speed that traditional algorithms (the same that blowfish using 448 bits key).
CuaimaCrypt is scalable; it was designed in blocks and if you need more security, only add more blocks.
WinCuaimaCrypt is the application designed to implement the CuaimaCrypt algorithm in a friendly way; in WinCuaimaCrypt was defined thee security levels, “fast” that implement an equivalent 1610 bits security, “normal” that implement an equivalent 2412 bits security and “paranoid” that implement an equivalent 4297 bits security.
WinCuaimaCrypt can be used to codec files and emails to be send by the internet.
