Symmetric Key Cryptography

Cryptography is an essential and effective method for securing information’s and data. Several symmetric and asymmetric key cryptographic algorithms are used for securing the data. Symmetric key cryptography uses the same key for both encryption and decryption. Asymmetric Key Cryptography also known as public key cryptography uses two different keys – a public key and a private key. The public key is used for encryption and the private key is used for decryption. In this paper, certain asymmetric key algorithms such as RSA, Rabin, Diffie-Hellman, ElGamal and Elliptical curve cryptosystem, their security aspects and the processes involved in design and implementation of these algorithms are examined.

Symmetric Key Cryptography

Symmetric-key cryptography is a classical cryptography in which both sender and receiver use the same key K to encrypt and decrypt the message. The main challenge between sender and receiver is to agree upon the secret-key which should not be revealed to public. Key management is the major issue in symmetric-key cryptosystem. To avoid these, a novel approach in generating the keystream Ks for any symmetric-key algorithms using U-matrix is proposed in this paper. The advantage of this method is generation of key K from Ks is based on some deterministic procedure which is then applied to DES algorithm and K is not necessarily remembered by both sender and receiver. Further, in each round different key is used as opposed to usage of single key in classical DES. Experimental results clearly show the security is increased when it is compared with classical DES.

Symmetric Key Cryptography

It is challenging to secure a wireless sensor network (WSN) because its inexpensive, tiny sensor nodes do not have the necessary processing capability, memory capacity, and battery life to take advantage of the existing security solutions for traditional networks. Existing security solutions for wireless sensor networks are mostly based on symmetric key cryptography with the assumption that sensor nodes are embedded with secret, temporary startup keys before deployment thus avoiding any use of computationally demanding public key algorithms altogether. However, symmetric key cryptography alone cannot satisfactorily provide all security needs for wireless sensor networks. It is still problematic to replenish an operational wireless sensor network with new sensor nodes securely. Current research on public key cryptography for WSNs shows some promising results, particularly in the use of elliptic curve cryptography and identity based encryption for WSNs. Although security is essential for WSNs, it can complicate some crucial operations of a WSN like data aggregation or in-network data processing that can be affected by a particular security protocol. Accordingly, in this chapter, the authors summarize, discuss, and evaluate recent symmetric key based results reported in literature on sensor network security protocols such as for key establishment, random key pre-distribution, data confidentiality, data integrity, and broadcast authentication as well as expose limitations and issues related to those solutions for WSNs. The authors also present significant advancement in public key cryptography for WSNs with promising results from elliptic curve cryptography and identity based encryption as well as their limitations for WSNs. In addition,they also discuss recently identified threats and their corresponding countermeasures in WSNs.

Symmetric Key Cryptography

For communication in the wireless networking, transmission of data over network sometimes is not safe. In such case security of network is one of the essential aspect in computer networking. Cryptography is antechnique of transforming an plaindata into encrypted one, and then retransform that encrypted data back to its plain (original) form. In this we authenticate the sender to whom you want to send that data file. There are two different techniques of cryptography, symmetric key cryptography (called public-key cryptography) algorithms and asymmetric key cryptography (called public-key cryptography) algorithms. There are also various algorithms for encrypted data using either public or private key or both. This paper describes RSA algorithm which first convert our data into other form and then encrypt it using RSA public key encryption at sender side & at receiver side, first it authenticate the receiver then decrypt the data/ file and convert into original form.

Cryptographic Techniques

Cryptographic techniques are primarily divided into two categories and they are: Symmetric key type and Asymmetric key type. In Symmetric key cryptography, during the process of encryption and decryption, the same key will be used. This is a conventional method of Cryptography. This might cause some disadvantage and give way for attacks on the algorithm. So, for this reason, the next technique comes into play. In Asymmetric key cryptography, there is a usage of a pair of keys, one for the encryption process and another for decryption process. In this technique also, there is a slight disadvantage, since there is a possibility for attackers to guess the public key from the pair of keys, thereby posing a threat to the process to an extent. In this paper, we develop an algorithm with a simple yet efficient structure using Symmetric key cryptography that could possibly decrease the chance of attacks on the algorithm.
