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.

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.

RSA always uses two big prime numbers to deal with the encryption process. The public key is obtained from the multiplication of both figures. However, we can break it by doing factorization to split the public key into two individual numbers. Cryptanalysis can perform the public key crack by knowing its value. The private key will be soon constructed after the two numbers retrieved. The public key is noted as “N”, while "N = P * Q". This technique is unclassified anymore to solve the RSA public and private key. If it is successfully factored into p and q then ɸ (N) = (P-1) * (Q-1) can be further calculated. By having the public key e, the private key d will be solved. Factorization method is the best way to do the demolition. This study concerns to numbers factorization. GCD calculation will produce the encryption "E" and decryption "D" keys, but it depends on the computer speed.

Abstract - Along with the development of communication technology human needs in the use of technology are increasing, especially in data storage. One way to improve security for data is by using cryptographic methods. RSA Algorithm (Rivest Shamir Adleman) is one method in the branch of cryptography, where RSA is a type of asymmetric cryptography that uses 2 keys, namely public and private keys. The problem of increasing the security of the public key and private key in RSA (Rivest Shamir Adlema) is that the Linear Congruential Generator (LCG) method is needed, LCG is used to generate a set of random numbers to n, where a set of random numbers will be taken that have a number value prime. One method for generating prime numbers is The Sieve Of Eratosthenes algorithm, The Sieve Of Eratosthenes algorithm is a classic algorithm for determining all prime numbers until the n-number is specified. The way the The Sieve Of Eratosthenes method works is to eliminate numbers that are not prime numbers, resulting in a collection of prime numbers. The prime number generated by the The Sieve Of Eratosthenes algorithm will be used for the public key and private key in the RSA criterion. Keywords - RSA, LCG, The Sieve of Eratosthenes.

The development of public-key cryptography generation using the factoring method is very important in practical cryptography applications. In cryptographic applications, the urgency of factoring is very risky because factoring can crack public and private keys, even though the strength in cryptographic algorithms is determined mainly by the key strength generated by the algorithm. However, solving the composite number to find the prime factors is still very rarely done. Therefore, this study will compare the Fermat factorization algorithm and Pollard rho by finding the key generator public key algorithm's prime factor value.  Based on the series of test and analysis factoring integer algorithm using Fermat's Factorization and Pollards' Rho methods, it could be concluded that both methods could be used to factorize the public key which specifically aimed to identify the prime factors. During the public key factorizing process within 16 bytes – 64 bytes, Pollards' Rho's average duration was significantly faster than Fermat's Factorization.

Presented herein is a User-SpecificKey Scheme based on Elliptic Curve Cryptography that defeats man-inthe-middle attacks on cryptocurrency exchange accounts. In this scheme, a separate public and private key pair is assigned to every account and the public key is shifted either forward or backward on the elliptic curve by a difference of the account user’s password. When a user logs into his account, the server sends the shifted public key of his account. The user computes the actual public key of his account by reverse shifting the shifted public key exactly by a difference of his password. Alternatively, shifting can be applied to the user’s generator instead of the public key. Described in detail is as to how aman-in-the-middle attack takes place and how the proposed scheme defeats the attack. Provided detailed security analysis in both the cases of publickey shifting and generator shifting. Further, compared the effectiveness of another three authentication schemes in defending passwords against MITM attacks.

Cryptography is important in securing data and information. Confidential, important information may not be publicly or otherwise protected. It is not impossible for anyone to see, damage, steal or misuse important data from an agency or company through a computer network. The solution is with cryptography or a method of data security that can maintain the confidentiality and authenticity of a data or information. This method is intended for confidential information when sent through network access, such as LAN or internet, cannot be utilized by unauthorized parties. Cryptography supports the aspect of information security, namely protection of confidentiality. Therefore the need to maintain the confidentiality of data and information is a cryptographic application. The process in the form of encryption and decryption used by the user to secure the data without changing the contents of the data. This application has a 32-character key but in its use is made into 2 keys, namely public and private key where the public key is the key filled by the user in accordance with the desire, while the private key is the default key entered by the application at random to meet the length of 32 characters. The AES algorithm used is the AES256 algorithm where this algorithm uses the principle with the number of rounds by key.

This chapter analyzes how, in 1976, Whitfield Diffie and Martin Hellman suggested that one could use NP to hide one's own secrets. The field of cryptography, the study of secret messages, changed forever. Diffie and Hellman, building on earlier work of Roger Merkle, proposed a method to get around the problem of network security using what they called “public-key” cryptography. A computer would generate two keys, a public key and a private key. The computer would store the private key, never putting that key on the network. The public key would be sent over the network broadcast to everyone. Diffie and Hellman's idea was to develop a cryptosystem that used the public key for encrypting messages, turning the real message into a coded one. The public key would not be able to decrypt the message. Only the private key could decrypt the message.

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.


In cryptography Public key cryptography plays a significant job in the field of data communication. Public key uses two distinctive keys where keys are related so those, the public key can use to encode the information and private key is utilized to decode. RSA is considered as one of the effective algorithm in public key cryptography. Effectiveness of RSA Algorithm for the most part relies upon how adequately public key segments is shared i.e. common modulus n and public key exponent e. If these components compromised by the hacker using mathematical attacks, acquiring private key becomes easier task for the intruder. This paper present an upgraded RSA algorithm which is used to avoid the limitations of Integer factorization attack by improving the complexity of factorization process by utilizing fake/phony public key exponent type f rather than e and phony modulus X rather than n. Paper also gives comparative analysis of the proposed work using standard metrics.
