Implementation of Improved Cryptography Algorithm

Abstract

A network is an interconnected group of independent computing devices which uses a different set of protocols to communicate with each other independently and meaningfully. This communication should be carried out securely. Due to different attacks, this security sometimes gets compromised. So, to communicate securely different cryptography algorithms are used i.e., symmetric and asymmetric algorithms. Cryptography helps to achieve authentication, confidentiality, integrity, non-repudiation, and availability of data. Nowadays many algorithms provide security to data but these algorithms have various security flaws. To improve the strength of these algorithms, a new security protocol is designed using features of symmetric key and asymmetric key algorithms. The security principles can be achieved by AES and RSA algorithms. The main purpose of designing this algorithm is to provide better security to data in transit against passive as well as from active attacks. The new proposed hybrid algorithm is implemented in MATLAB R2019a. This algorithm will be analysed and compared on three parameters like avalanche effect, performance, and security against attacks. The proposed model will contribute towards improving the excellence of educators and academics, as well as increase competitiveness of educational programmes on cybersecurity among similar institutions in the EU countries.
