scholarly journals An Enhanced Cryptographic Algorithm Using Bi-Modal Biometrics

A novel cryptographic algorithm, namely Significant Secure Biometric Key (SSBK) algorithm is proposed.The novel algorithm is compared with the existing cryptographic algorithms like Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), key exchange algorithm like Diffie-Helman and also with Symmetric Random Biometric Key (SRBK) algorithm, and finally we prove the proposed algorithm is superior than existing algorithm based on few parameters. A sample plain text is taken and converted to cipher text and the key from the biometric feature is used for encryption and decryption. In the key generation process, the bi-modal biometrics, namely Ear and Lip features are taken. The concatenated key values obtained from ear and lip can be of minimum 8 bits to the maximum of 1024 bits based on the type of algorithm used.

The wide acceptability of Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) as the most efficient of all of the symmetric cryptographic techniques has further opened it up to more attacks. Efforts that were aimed at securing information while using AES is still being undermined by the activities of attackers This has further necessitated the need for researchers to come up with ways of enhancing the strength of AES. This article presents an enhanced AES algorithm that was achieved by modifying its SubBytes and ShiftRows transformations. The SubBytes transformation is modified to be round key dependent, while the ShiftRows transformation is randomized. The rationale behind the modification is to make the two transformations round key dependent, so that a single bit change in the key will produce a significant change in the cipher text. The conventional and modified AES algorithms are both implemented and evaluated in terms avalanche effect and execution time. The modified AES algorithm achieved an avalanche effect of 57.81% as compared to 50.78 recorded with the conventional AES. However, with 16, 32, 64, and 128 plain text bytes, the modified AES recorded an execution time of 0.18, 0.31, 0.46, and 0.59 ms, respectively. This is slightly higher than the results obtained with the conventional AES. Though a slightly higher execution time in milliseconds was recorded with the modified AES, the improved encryption and decryption strength via the avalanche effects measured is a desirable feat.

In recent Era, Security has been most important issue to be considered with different forward looking and preventing measures. Several cryptographic algorithms are developed for encryption and decryption using a secret key. The issue with this strategy is that user ought to recall the key or store the key in a database, which make the framework under danger. Once the put away key is bargained, at that point an attacker can get to the private information effectively. To maintain uniqueness of key, a biometric feature such as fingerprint can be used, whereas randomness can be induced using different combinations of fingerprints. In this paper, we propose a technique to generate the key matrix by extracting minutiae points from the combined minutiae template of fingerprints of the sender and receiver. This system contains four phases. One is Enrolment Phase, second is Authentication Phase, third is Key Generation phase and last is Cryptographic phase. For encryption of the original image using generated key matrix, we use Hill cipher.

As more increase in usage of communications and developing them more user friendly. While developing those communications, we need to take care of security and safety of user’s data. Many researchers have developed many complex algorithms to maintain security in user’s application. Among those one of the best algorithms are cryptography based, in which user will be safe side mostly from the attackers.  We already had some AES algorithm which uses very complex cryptographic algorithm to increase the performance and more usage of lookup tables. So the cache timing attackers will correlates the details to encrypt the data under known key with the unknown key. So, for this we provide an improvised solution. This paper deals with an extension of public-key encryption and decryption support including a private key. The private key is generated with the combination of AES and ECC. In general AES, key length is 128 bits with 10 times of iterations. But with this, users won’t get efficient security for their operations, so to increase the security level we are implementing 196-bit based encryption with 12 times round-key generation iterations. By this enhancement, we can assure to users to high level security and can keep users data in confidential way.


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 idea of information security lead to the evolution of cryptography. In other words, cryptography is the science of keeping information secure. It involves encryption and decryption of messages. The core of cryptography lies in the keys involved in encryption and decryption and maintaining the secrecy of the keys. Another important factor is the key strength, i.e. the difficulty in breaking the key and retrieving the plain text. There are various cryptographic algorithms. In this project we use Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) over Galois field. This system has been proven to be stronger than known algorithms like RSA, DSA, etc. Our aim is to build an efficient elliptic curve cryptosystem for secure transmission or exchange of confidential emails over a public network.

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 computing devices utilized as a part of an extensive class of remote correspondence systems, for example, cell phones, remote sensor systems (WSNs), vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs), mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), Internet of Things (IoT), body area networks (BANs) and so on, are little and asset compelled. In the current developments of the resource constraint environments, the trend is shifted towards lightweight cryptographic algorithm. Many lightweight cryptographic algorithms have been developed and also existed algorithms are modified in terms of resource constraint environments. One of such new procedures is utilizing three prime numbers for RSA cryptosystem, which is not easily breakable. Our approach using three prime number rather than two prime-dependent systems to get (n) with same length of standard RSA but less bits for prime numbers. The suggested algorithm has speed enhancement on standard RSA key generation side and decryption side by utilizing three primes and the Chinese Reminder Theorem (CRT). The results indicate that the average of speed improvement is ~80% in key generation process, ~96% in decryption process, and only 4% in the encryption process.

Cellular Automaton is an idealized parallel processing machine which is an array (1-D, 2-D) of numbers or symbols called cell values together with an updating rule. A cell value is updated based on this updating rule, which involves the cell value as well as other cell values in a particular neighborhood. A fundamental objective of cryptography is to enable two people to communicate over an insecure channel (a public channel such as internet) in such a way that any other person is unable to recover their message (called the plaintext) from what is sent in its place over the channel (the cipher text). The transformation of the plaintext into the cipher text is called encryption, or enciphering. The transformation of the cipher text into the plaintext is called decryption, or deciphering. In this paper we present a new encryption and decryption algorithm based on the linear (periodic boundary-PB) and nonlinear Cellular Automata rules. First we apply PB CA rules to plain text and key. The result of both plain text and key is XORed. Then the result of XOR operation is fed to substitution box( S-box) and again PB CA rules are applied for exchange and shift operations. At the end Complement operation is applied for encryption of plain text. The decryption process is carried out just similar to encryption but in the reverse way. Both the process of encryption and decryption is performed for 8 numbers of rounds in order to avoid the dependency between the plain text and cipher text.

In today’s world, the internet is a platform, where large amount of data can be obtained and transferred. Different technologies and internet access are used to transfer the data which can be accessed by authorized and unauthorized users.The major drawback of these technologies are that any unauthorized person can access it.Hence encryption and decryption is perform on Message/Data .In encryption the plain text/image is converted into cipher text/image.The technique of data hiding is used to hide the data that has to be transferred from the source to the destination.The process involves insertion of secret message in the cover image which is encrypted with the help of AES algorithm. This algorithm generates public/private key. All this process can be performed in lossless and reversible manner.

Encoding was first made using a classic algorithm. This algorithm builds its security on the confidentiality of the algorithm used. However, this algorithm is inefficient when used to communicate with many people because the algorithm is still very simple and still very easy to solve, so important information or data that you want to keep secret can be easily discovered by other people or people who are not responsible. CAST-128 is a cryptographic algorithm that is said to be similar to the DES algorithm which uses 16 rounds of feistel network as one of its strengths. Where in the process of encryption and decryption of text CAST-128 uses a 64-bit block length and key lengths of up to 128 bits. For information, the CAST-128 algorithm is referred to as one of the strong cryptographic algorithms against various types of cryptanalysis, including differential and linear attacks. With the application of the CAST-128 algorithm in the process of encrypting and decrypting text, it will be more difficult to decode text encoded by people who do not know the key so as to create more security than the encoded text. So when the text wants to be sent or transferred to the flashdisk will be more confidential.
