Wireless sensor networks (WSN) have problems such as limited power, weak computing power, poor communication ability, and vulnerability to attack. However, the existing encryption methods cannot effectively solve the above problems when applied to WSN. To this end, according to WSN’s characteristics and based on the identity-based encryption idea, an improved identity-based encryption algorithm (IIBE) is proposed, which can effectively simplify the key generation process, reduce the network traffic, and improve the network security. The design idea of this algorithm lies between the traditional public key encryption and identity-based public tweezers’ encryption. Compared with the traditional public key encryption, the algorithm does not need a public key certificate and avoids the management of the certificate. Compared with identity-based public key encryption, the algorithm addresses the key escrow and key revocation problems. The results of the actual network distribution experiments demonstrate that IIBE has low energy consumption and high security, which are suitable for application in WSN with high requirements on security.

This study aims to analyze the performance and security of the RSA algorithm in combination with the key generation method of enhanced and secured RSA key generation scheme (ESRKGS). ESRKGS is an improvement of the RSA improvisation by adding four prime numbers in the property embedded in key generation. This method was applied to instant messaging using TCP sockets. The ESRKGS+RSA algorithm was designed using standard RSA development by modified the private and public key pairs. Thus, the modification was expected to make it more challenging to factorize a large number n into prime numbers. The ESRKGS+RSA method required 10.437 ms faster than the improvised RSA that uses the same four prime numbers in conducting key generation processes at 1024-bit prime number. It also applies to the encryption and decryption process. In the security testing using Fermat Factorization on a 32-bit key, no prime number factor was found. The test was processed for 15 hours until the test computer resource runs out.


Aadhaar database is the world's largest biometric database system. The security of Aadhaar database plays a major role. In order to secure such huge database, an encryption and decryption algorithm has been proposed in this paper. Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) is a public key cryptography which is used to provide high security to those databases. The Aadhaar database contains individual personal information as well as their biometric identities. ECC is widely used for providing security to all kinds of data. ECC has smaller key size, fast computation, high throughput compared to other cryptographic algorithms. The data’s present in database are converted into their corresponding Pixel or ASCII values. After that the encryption process is done with the help of public key, private key, generation points and plain text. After the encryption process, the encrypted coordinates can be mapped with the generated points and from that corresponding ASCII value for text, pixel value for image can be retrieved. Then, the alphabet which is corresponding to ASCII will be displayed so that the cipher text can be viewed. This encrypted data is stored in the database. In order to retrieve the original data decryption process using ECC is carried out. In decryption process, receiver’s private key and cipher coordinates which is retrieved from encryption process are used. Therefore, the personal details of an individual can be retrieved with the presence of that particular person who only knows that private key. So, the hackers will not be able to retrieve the database of any individual just by knowing their Aadhaar ID. The proposed work is implemented in the MATLAB software. The Performance metrics like PSNR, Similarity, Correlation Coefficient, NPCR and UACI has been done for analysis.

The RSA algorithm is one of the cryptographic algorithms with an asymmetric model where the algorithm has two keys, namely the public key and the private key. However, as time goes on, these algorithms are increasingly exposed to security holes and make this algorithm vulnerable to being hacked by people who do not have authority. The vulnerability stems from the algorithm's public keys (e and n). The strength of the RSA algorithm is based on the difficulty of factoring two prime numbers that are generated during the key generation process, if these values ​​can be known using certain methods, the public key and private key values ​​will be found. Therefore, there are many studies that improvise the RSA algorithm, one of which is the Dual Modulus RSA (DM-RSA) algorithm. The algorithm uses four prime numbers which produce 2 modulus and 4 keys (2 public keys and 2 private keys). From the results of the Kraitchik factorization test, it was found that the DM-RSA algorithm was proven to be more resistant up to 2 times or even more than the standard RSA algorithm. This is evidenced by the fact that the value of n is 24 bits, the RSA algorithm can last up to 63204 ms (1 minute 22 seconds) while the Dual Modulus RSA algorithm lasts up to 248494123 ms (142 minutes 47 seconds).

The technical solutions and organizational procedures used to manage certificates are collectively named Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). The overall goal of a PKI is to provide support for usage of public-key certificates within – and also outside – its constituency. To this aim, several functions are needed, such as user registration, key generation, certificate revocation and many others. It is the aim of this paper to describe issues related to digital certificates and PKIs, both from the technical and management viewpoint.
