Custom encryption function for communications between a client device and a server device
A device receives credentials of a user of a client device that is accessing an application associated with a server device, and verifies the user based on the credentials of the user. The device retrieves, based on verifying the user, a random function from a random functions data structure associated with the device, and utilizes the random function to select parameters and values for a user function. The device utilizes the user function, the parameters, and the values to generate a custom encryption function, and encrypts the custom encryption function to form an encrypted custom encryption function. The device provides the encrypted custom encryption function to the client device and the server device to permit encrypted communication between the client device and the server device using the custom encryption function.
