Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 5:
6. A system, comprising:
a processor;
a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising programming instruction that are configured to cause the processor to implement a method for operating a cryptographic algorithm, wherein the programming instructions comprise instructions to:
obtaining ciphertext by the cryptographic system;
performing operations by the cryptographic system to determine whether a given sequence of values exits within the ciphertext;
generating an initialization value for a cryptographic algorithm responsive to a determination that the given sequence of values exists within the ciphertext, wherein the initialization value comprises a bitrate portion including the ciphertext and a capacity portion set to zero; and
synchronizing the cryptographic system with another cryptographic system using the initialization value for the cryptographic algorithm;

wherein the cryptographic algorithm comprises an adaption of a sponge construction framework.
