Certificateless Public Key Cryptography (CL-PKC) scheme is a new standard that combines Identity (ID)-based cryptography and tradi- tional PKC. It yields better security than the ID-based cryptography scheme without requiring digital certificates. In the CL-PKC scheme, as the Key Generation Center (KGC) generates a public key using a partial secret key, the need for authenticating the public key by a trusted third party is avoided. Due to the lack of authentication, the public key associated with the private key of a user may be replaced by anyone. Therefore, the ciphertext cannot be decrypted accurately. To mitigate this issue, an Enhanced Certificateless Proxy Signature (E-CLPS) is proposed to offer high security guarantee and requires minimum computational cost. In this work, the Hackman tool is used for detecting the dictionary attacks in the cloud. From the experimental analysis, it is observed that the proposed E-CLPS scheme yields better Attack Detection Rate, True Positive Rate, True Negative Rate and Minimum False Positives and False Negatives than the existing schemes.   

The use of “Asymmetric Cryptography” provides the way to avail the feature of non-repudiation, encryption of data and defining the user digital identity to map with the authenticating user in the Public Cloud. A security technique is to be provided for the data even before it is stored on the Cloud. The public key certificate can be transferred into key server for encrypting the data by other users or devices in the public cloud. By using OpenPGP standard (PGP)/GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG), public key certificate and the private key certificate can be generated by the user in the client system itself. The client private key can never be moved out from the client system and users only responsibility is to decrypt their data like images. This methodology will be very much suitable for authenticating, transferring, accessing and storing the images in the Public Cloud. The computational cost for encrypting the whole image with public key will be huge and so the hybrid methodology is proposed with visual cryptography technique and Elliptic-Curve Diffie–Hellman (ECDH) methodology. This paper proposes secure transfer of secret image by using visual cryptography technique and thereby modifying any one of the visual shares into encrypted data with ECDH secret key and finally converted those two shares into base64 format. The proposed algorithm is implemented by using the Python language and their results are discussed with sample images.

The place of public key cryptography (PKC) in guaranteeing the security of wireless networks under human-centered IoT environments cannot be overemphasized. PKC uses the idea of paired keys that are mathematically dependent but independent in practice. In PKC, each communicating party needs the public key and the authorized digital certificate of the other party to achieve encryption and decryption. In this circumstance, a directory is required to store the public keys of the participating parties. However, the design of such a directory can be cost-prohibitive and time-consuming. Recently, identity-based encryption (IBE) schemes have been introduced to address the vast limitations of PKC schemes. In a typical IBE system, a third-party server can distribute the public credentials to all parties involved in the system. Thus, the private key can be harvested from the arbitrary public key. As a result, the sender could use the public key of the receiver to encrypt the message, and the receiver could use the extracted private key to decrypt the message. In order to improve systems security, new IBE schemes are solely desired. However, the complexity and cost of designing an entirely new IBE technique remain. In order to address this problem, this paper presents a provably secure IBE transformation model for PKC using conformable Chebyshev chaotic maps under the human-centered IoT environment. In particular, we offer a robust and secure IBE transformation model and provide extensive performance analysis and security proofs of the model. Finally, we demonstrate the superiority of the proposed IBE transformation model over the existing IBE schemes. Overall, results indicate that the proposed scheme posed excellent security capabilities compared to the preliminary IBE-based schemes.

The public key cryptosystem is fundamental in safeguard communication in cyberspace. This paper described a new cryptosystem analogous to El-Gamal encryption scheme, which utilizing the Lucas sequence and Elliptic Curve. Similar to Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) and Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA), the proposed cryptosystem requires a precise hard mathematical problem as the essential part of security strength. The chosen plaintext attack (CPA) was employed to investigate the security of this cryptosystem. The result shows that the system is vulnerable against the CPA when the sender decrypts a plaintext with modified public key, where the cryptanalyst able to break the security of the proposed cryptosystem by recovering the plaintext even without knowing the secret key from either the sender or receiver.

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.

This chapter presents a keyless self-encrypting/decrypting system to be used in various communications systems. In the world of vast communications systems, data flow through various kinds of media, including free air. Thus the information transmitted is free to anyone who can peer it, which means that there should be a guarding mechanism so the information is transmitted securely over the medium from the sender to the intended receiver, who is supposed to get it in the first place and deter the others from getting the information sent. Many encryption systems have been devised for this purpose, but most of them are built around Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) wherein public key cryptography, a public and private key, is created simultaneously using the same algorithm (a popular one is known as RSA) by a certificate authority (CA). The private key is given only to the requesting party, and the public key is made publicly available (as part of a digital certificate) in a directory that all parties can access. The private key is never shared with anyone or sent across the medium. All of the commonly used encryption systems exchange keys that need to be generated using complex mathematical operations that take noticeable time, which is sometimes done once, and exchanged openly over unsecured medium. We are proposing an expandable keyless self-encrypting/decrypting system, which does not require the use of keys in order o minimize the chances of breaching data exchange security and enhance the data security of everyday communications devices that are otherwise insecured.

Cloud security is one of the major issues which are affecting the acceptance of Cloud computing (CC). In spite of the number of benefits offered by CC, it also suffers from a myriad of security vulnerabilities. Security is the prime concern while we are accessing the resources from the Cloud through the Internet. This research work is primarily on IAAS (Infrastructure as a service). Here a protocol called Authenticated Routing on Cloud Network (ARCN) has been proposed, to secure the communication route between the client and service provider. The proposed protocol ARCN uses the public key cryptography to mitigate the various security attacks like malicious insider attacks, Spoofing, Falsified routes, DoS, etc.

Multivariate quadratic based public-key cryptography called MQ problem which based on calculation of a secure cryptography of multivariate equations and MQ cryptography security is based on the difficulty of the solution of multivariate equations. But computer and mathematician scientists put a lot of effort and a long time to research MQ cryptography and they have proved that MQ cryptography is NP complete problem. Therefore, before the P problem Equal to the NP problem we do not figure out selected multivariate equations by random in polynomial time. So we can use this feature to construct the relative safety method of the public key encryption. A new type of public-key cryptosystem has been brought up in this paper that one-way shell core function which has such advantages as more security and flexibility, and provides a more inclusive public-key cryptosystem.

ABSTRACTIt is now commonplace that secrecy must be truly enhanced and tightened as it weighs the emergence of the latest technology that is growing rapidly. Of course an agency, group, or individual have data that is confidential and do not want to be known by other parties hence the need for a system capable of securing the data. For this reason this research aims to create Cryptography application by applying a combination of Hill Cipher and RSA algorithm, Cryptography is also called coding language and I apply Hill Cipher because it is a classical method that uses multiplication for each encoded character while RSA is a modern method that has 2 keys ie key public and secret key where the public key is used for encryption and secret key to retranslate the original form. By applying a combination of classical and modern methods it can be more secure so it is more difficult to be solved by unwanted parties.Keyword : Data Security, Cryptography, Hill Cipher, RSAABSTRAKDi masa sekarang sudah menjadi hal yang biasa bahwa kerahasiaan harus benar – benar ditingkatkan dan diperketat karena menimbang kemunculan teknologi terbaru yang semakin pesat berkembang. Tentu sebuah Instansi, kelompok, ataupun individu memiliki data yang bersifat rahasia dan tidak ingin diketahui oleh pihak lain maka dari itu diperlukannya system yang mampu mengamankan data tersebut. Untuk itulah penelitian ini bertujuan membuat aplikasi Kriptografi dengan menerapkan kombinasi Algoritma Hill Cipher dan RSA, Kriptografi juga disebut bahasa persandian dan saya menerapkan Hill Cipher karena merupakan metode klasik yang menggunakan perkalian untuk tiap karakter yang disandikan sedangkan RSA adalah metode modern yang memiliki 2 kunci yaitu kunci publik dan kunci rahasia dimana kunci publik digunakan untuk penyandian dan kunci rahasia untuk menterjemahkan kembali k bentuk asli. Dengan menerapkan kombinasi metode klasik dan modern ini dapat lebih mengamankan sehingga lebih sulit untuk dapat di pecahkan oleh pihak – pihak yang tidak diinginkan.Kata Kunci : Pengamanan Data, Kriptografi, Hill Cipher, RSA.

Digital signatures are crucial network security technologies. However, in traditional public key signature schemes, the certificate management is complicated and the schemes are vulnerable to public key replacement attacks. In order to solve the problems, in this paper, we propose a self-certified signature scheme over lattice. Using the self-certified public key, our scheme allows a user to certify the public key without an extra certificate. It can reduce the communication overhead and computational cost of the signature scheme. Moreover, the lattice helps prevent quantum computing attacks. Then, based on the small integer solution problem, our scheme is provable secure in the random oracle model. Furthermore, compared with the previous self-certified signature schemes, our scheme is more secure.

The fast moving world full of data exchange and communication technology, with all sensitive information of an individual virtually available anywhere and anytime, make the Internet world more critical in security aspects. The areas of risks are attended and assured to be safe by means of some sought of crypto mechanisms. The strength and vulnerability of the crypto mechanism defines the durability of the system. The encryption on the communication channel can implement either public or private key algorithms based on the area of applications. The public key cryptography is specifically designed to keep the key itself safe between the sender and receiver themselves. There are plenty of public key cryptographic algorithms but only a few are renowned. This paper is aimed to collect all possible public key cryptographic methods and analyze its pros and cons so as to find a better algorithm to suite almost all conditions in Internet communication world and e-commerce. Research in quantum computers is booming now and it is anticipated that the supremacy of quantum computers will crack the present public key crypto algorithms. This paper highlights issues and challenges to be faced from quantum computing and draws the attention of network researchers to march towards researching on quantum-safe algorithms.
