The origin of this term can be traced back to the early days of cryptography and refers to a system or protocol that does not follow the established standard.
Non-canonical crypto systems differ from canonical (or standard) systems in several ways:
1.
Originality
: Canonical systems typically have a clear, well-defined set of rules for how data is encrypted, which means they
