Triple Key Security Algorithm Against Single Key Attack on Multiple Rounds

In cipher algorithms,the encryption and decryption are based on the same key.There are some limitations in cipher algorithms,for example in polyalphabetic substitution cipher the key size must be equal to plaintext otherwise it will be repeated and if the key is known then encryption becomes useless.This paper aims to improve the said limitations by designing of Triple key security algorithm(TKS)in which the key is modified on polyalphabetic substitution cipher to maintain the size of the key and plaintext.Each plaintext character is substituted by an alternative message.The mode of substitution is transformed cyclically which depends on the current position of the modified communication.Three keys are used in the encryption and decryption process on 8 or 16 rounds with the Exclusively-OR(XOR)of the 1st key.This study also identifies a single-key attack on multiple rounds block cipher in mobile communications and applied the proposed technique to prevent the attack.By utilization of the TKS algorithm,the decryption is illustrated,and security is analyzed in detail with mathematical examples.

Securing color image transmission using compression-encryption model with dynamic key generator and efficient symmetric key distribution

There are a few issues related to the existing symmetric encryption models for color image data,such as the key generation and distribution problems.In this paper,we propose a compression-encryption model to solve these problems.This model consists of three processes.The first process is the dynamic symmetric key generation.The second one is the compression process,which is followed by encryption using keystreams and S-Boxes that are generated using a chaotic logistic map.The last process is the symmetric key distribution.The symmetric key is encrypted twice using Rivest-Shamir-Adleman(RSA)to provide both authentication and confidentiality.Then,it is inserted into the cipher image using the End of File(EoF)method.The evaluation shows that the symmetric key generator model can produce a random and dynamic symmetric key.Hence,the image data is safe from ciphertext-only attacks.This model is fast and able to withstand entropy attacks,statistical attacks,differential attacks,and brute-force attacks.

Split-n-Swap: A New Modification of the Twofish Block Cipher Algorithm

Securing digital data from unauthorized access throughout its entire lifecycle has been always a critical concern.A robust data security system should protect the information assets of any organization against cybercriminal activities.The Twofish algorithm is one of the well-known symmetric key block cipher cryptographic algorithms and has been known for its rapid convergence.But when it comes to security,it is not the preferred cryptographic algorithm to use compared to other algorithms that have shown better security.Many applications and social platforms have adopted other symmetric key block cipher cryptographic algorithms such as the Advanced Encryption Standard(AES)algorithm to construct their main security wall.In this paper,a new modification for the original Twofish algorithm is proposed to strengthen its security and to take advantage of its fast convergence.The new algorithm has been named Split-n-Swap(SnS).Performance analysis of the new modification algorithm has been performed using different measurement metrics.The experimental results show that the complexity of the SnS algorithm exceeds that of the original Twofish algorithm while maintaining reasonable values for encryption and decryption times as well as memory utilization.A detailed analysis is given with the strength and limitation aspects of the proposed algorithm.

Navigating the Quantum Threat Landscape: Addressing Classical Cybersecurity Challenges

This research paper analyzes the urgent topic of quantum cybersecurity and the current federal quantum-cyber landscape. Quantum-safe implementations within existing and future Internet of Things infrastructure are discussed, along with quantum vulnerabilities in public key infrastructure and symmetric cryptographic algorithms. Other relevant non-encryption-specific areas within cybersecurity are similarly raised. The evolution and expansion of cyberwarfare as well as new developments in cyber defense beyond post-quantum cryptography and quantum key distribution are subsequently explored, with an emphasis on public and private sector awareness and vigilance in maintaining strong security posture.

Dynamic Encryption and Secure Transmission of Terminal Data Files

Data is the last defense line of security,in order to prevent data loss,no matter where the data is stored,copied or transmitted,it is necessary to accurately detect the data type,and further clarify the form and encryption structure of the data transmission process to ensure the accuracy of the data,so as to prevent data leakage,take the data characteristics as the core,use transparent encryption and decryption technology as the leading,and According to the data element characteristics such as identity authentication,authority management,outgoing management,file audit and external device management,the terminal data is marked with attributes to form a data leakage prevention module with data function,so as to control the data in the whole life cycle from creation,storage,transmission,use to destruction,no matter whether the data is stored in the server,PC or mobile device,provide unified policy management,form ecological data chain with vital characteristics,and provide comprehensive protection system for file dynamic encryption transmission,such as prevention in advance,control in the event,and audit after the event,so as to ensure the security of dynamic encryption in the process of file transmission,ensure the core data of the file,and help the enterprise keep away from the risk of data leakage.
