Encryption algorithms are widely used to enhance the data confidentiality and integrity in software systems. Most of the conventional encryption algorithms are designed based onmathematical methods. Sometimes there are traces left behind, which can be possibly detected and utilised by attackers. Basedon the ideas of knowledge combination derived from CreativeComputing, in order to provide a safer user experience, thispaper attempts to introduce a creative encryption approachbased on Pataphysics. Pataphysics is widely known as the scienceof imaginary solutions and laws, governing exceptions. One of themost important advantages of Pataphysics is the novel orinnovative methods to understand and explore the surroundingworld. It is believed that based on the key concepts provided byPataphysics, Clinamen, something new might be discovered fortraditional encryption design. The creative approach aims toutilise the ambiguity in language to enhance the confidentiality ofencryption algorithms. We hope the proposed approach couldprovide a promising direction for software and information security.
