You have probably used ciphers when you were young with friends and did not even realize. Keeping secrets from people that wanted to know the secrets you had. Ciphers have been around for thousands of years. To cipher something is to hide the specific meaning of messages, but not the message existence. The need to hide messages has been with us ever since we moved out of caves way back then. Most of the earliest forms of ciphers we have records of have been mostly recovered from Egypt, Greece and

standardized. They are; Substitution cipher Transposition cipher Product cipher 4.1.1 Substitution cipher Replacing each element of the plaintext into another element is called as substitution cipher. The most famouse is the Ceaser cipher which was invented by Julius Ceaser. Each letter is replaced by the letter three positions further down the alphabet.

scrambling, so that it can be unscrambled later [10]. Data encryption interprets data into a different form, or cryptograph, so that a person holding a secret key (i.e. a decryption key) or password can access that data. The encrypted data is known as cipher text, whereas the unencrypted data is termed as plaintext. Presently, encryption is considered as one of the most effective data security technique and is widely used by a number of organizations for the purpose of secure and reliable transmission
create registration numbers. Focus: This IA will focus on the math involved in certain ciphers, these ciphers are. The classic cipher Substitution cipher ISBN codes Public Key Credit Card codes Aim My aim is to understand the ciphers and see if I can make some of my own Investigation Transition/Classic Cipher This was a simple cipher and one of the earliest established. It was said that Julius Caesar used this cipher to protect messages of military importance, it is also known as the Caesar shift. The
the most common everyday encounter with encryption. To encrypt and decrypt information a cipher is used. In a cipher there is a set of well-defined steps that can be followed to encrypt and decrypt messages. The use of a cipher relies greatly on the use of an encryption key. The key may contain any auxiliary information added to the cipher to produce certain
function D = E¬¬-1. For secure communication between the sender and receiver, the sender (conventionally called Alice) will apply the encryption function to the actual message P (the plaintext), and pass on the resulting cipher text C = E (P) over the anxious channel. Once the cipher text (C) is received by the anticipated recipient (called Bob), the plaintext is mended by computing D(C) = P. Different kind of encryption techniques is as follows. Symmetric Key Cryptography: Symmetric Encryption is
algorithm. An encryption algorithm and all its possible keys, plaintexts and cipher texts is known as a cryptosystem or cryptographic system. Figure 4 illustrates the process. There are two main characteristics for cryptography: 1. It should be computationally infeasible to derive the plaintext from the cipher text without knowledge of the decryption key. 2. It should be computationally infeasible to derive the cipher text from the plaintext without knowledge of the encryption key. Modern encryption
Question 1 A .What is cryptography? Technique of protecting information by changing in to other format is nothing but Cryptography, this technique is called Cipher text. This process involve a secret key through which readable message is totally converted into unreadable message, in order to decrypt the unreadable message secrete key is must. Generally this is used is communication, don’t know if communication breaks in middle the message which is private may go leak, so, to protect private data
especially in software as it was designed for hardware implementations. 2. It is applied three times on the same data so it is such wastage of time. D. AES Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a symmetric-key encryption standard. Each of these ciphers has a 128-bit block size, with key sizes of 128, 192 and 256 bits, respectively. It is also known by its original name which is Rijndael. It is not only used for security but also used for its speed, both hardware and software implementations are
Symmetric cryptography, also known as secret key cryptography, has been in use for thousands of years in forms ranging from simple substitution ciphers(figures) to more complex developments. Be that as it may, improvements in science and the development of computing power have made it possible to make ciphers(figures) that are effectively unbreakable and secured. Symmetric frameworks are for the most part quick however are powerless so the key used to encrypt must be imparted to whomever needs to
Cryptography Part one---Why do we need to learn cryptography Now is a time which the information is extremely development. A lot of datas are stored by the form of electronic messages. The transmission of the information is often through electronic medium such as mobile phone communication, electronic commerce, the on-line chat service etc. Unfortunately, those way of transmit the information are not safe. The message that we delivered is possible be stolen or monitored. If we have no appropriate
Encryption - The Art of Hidden Messages Cipher is used in cryptography for the algorithm purposes. The algorithms include the encryption and the decryption which includes of well defined series of steps that can be followed as a procedure. But sometimes we get the word cipher in a non technical usage which means a code. But this was distinguished from codes when it came to the classical cryptography. To put this information clear, they were used to operate the substitution depending on a large code book that
Q1). How would you approach the creation of a generalized program to decipher /break any encrypted message, independent of the technique used to create the cipher? What is your algorithm? Answer: If the algorithm to decipher an encrypted message has to be independent of the technique used to create cipher, i could think of only brute force technique that attempts to try every key possible. However, this is not always feasible even with the computing powers that are available today. The success of
World War II Encryption - The Enigma Machine The Enigma machine is an advanced electro-mechanical cipher machine invented by a German, Arthur Scherbius, at the end of World War I. Its only function was to encrypt and decrypt messages. It was used by all of the branches of the German military as the main device to secure wireless communications until the end of World War II. The use of the Enigma machine was an important part of World War II history. The Enigma machine has a look akin to
the history of the world. Early Egyptians communicated through mysterious hieroglyphics. Ancient Greeks concealed secret messages beneath wax on tables or with tattoos on a slave’s head. During the Renaissance in Europe, citizens would use a substitution cipher to carry messages about political and religious revolutions. During World War I and previous battles, most countries used codes to contact their navy or army branches abroad, in case of enemy interception. Which subsequently brings us to World
Japan's Purple Machine Codes and ciphers have played many crucial roles in the past 3000 years, protecting the secrets of caesars and laymen. In World War II numerous nations used cryptographic systems to conceal their secret intentions and plans from the spying eyes of enemies everywhere. Cryptanalysts, however, undeterred by the complexity of the crypto-systems, worked diligently, trying to find any sort of weakness that would allow a break into the cipher and expose the secrets contained within
My project mainly focuses on relatively new field of study in Information Technology known as cryptography. This topic will take an in-depth look at this technology by introducing various concepts of cryptography, a brief history of cryptography and a look at some of the cryptography techniques available today. This will have a close look at how we can use cryptography in an open-systems environment such as the Internet, as well as some of the tools and resources available to help us accomplish this
1. INTRODUCTION Pretty Good Privacy, known as the PGP, is a popular program for encryption and decryption of data, providing security services for electronic mail messages and data files. Created by Philip Zimmermann in 1991, this program has been widely used throughout the global computer community to protect the confidentiality and integrity of the users’ data, giving them the privacy of delivering messages and files only to their intended individual or authorized person (Singh, 2012). Not
PUBLIC KEY (ASYMMETRIC) ENCRYPTION Asymmetric Encryption is used to protect the data while in movement. Asymmetric Encryption is also known as Public Key Encryption. It uses two related keys, a public key and a private key which is not shared with anyone. This pair of keys are developed by mathematical methods which can be solved in one direction. So anyone can encode a data using the public key but only the user with a private key can decode that specific data. The length of Asymmetric Key Encryption
