Many modern day cryptographic methods can be used to encrypt the message before C. Decryption of the Cipher-text transmitting in the secured medium. In certain situations like The receiver with his private key calculates when there is matter of national security the information t. r−x encrypted has to be decrypted, it is where the cryptanalysis which gives the plaintext. comes into play. Cryptanalysis is the field of Cryptography in But in this algorithm, as there is just one private key, it can which various types of Cryptographic techniques are be guessed by any intruder and is thus not reliable. carefully studied in order to reverse engineer the encrypted information in order to retrieve the sensible information. The III. PROBLEM SOLUTION main aim and function of the Decryption tool is to take the In this project we are modifying the existing conventional input as the encrypted text given from the user and encryption algorithm by dividing the private key and cryptanalyze it and give the output as the decrypted text in assigning them to 2n+1 authorized receivers individually. case more than one sensible decrypted text found it will The persons will be able to decrypt the message received output all the possible decrypted texts. -

The practice to keep the information securely is by scrambling the message into unreadable form namely ciphertext. This process is called encryption. Decryption is the reverse process of encryption. For the past, historical ciphers are used to perform encryption and decryption process. For example, the common historical ciphers are Hill cipher, Playfair cipher, Random Substitution cipher and Vigenère cipher. This research is carried out to examine and to analyse the security level of these four historical ciphers by using known plaintext frequency statistical attack. The result had shown that Playfair cipher and Hill cipher have better security compare with Vigenère cipher and Random Substitution cipher. -

1 Perfect Secrecy of the One-Time Pad
1 Perfect secrecy of the one-time pad In this section, we make more a more precise analysis of the security of the one-time pad. First, we need to define conditional probability. Let’s consider an example. We know that if it rains Saturday, then there is a reasonable chance that it will rain on Sunday. To make this more precise, we want to compute the probability that it rains on Sunday, given that it rains on Saturday. So we restrict our attention to only those situations where it rains on Saturday and count how often this happens over several years. Then we count how often it rains on both Saturday and Sunday. The ratio gives an estimate of the desired probability. If we call A the event that it rains on Saturday and B the event that it rains on Sunday, then the intersection A ∩ B is when it rains on both days. The conditional probability of A given B is defined to be P (A ∩ B) P (B | A)= , P (A) where P (A) denotes the probability of the event A. This formula can be used to define the conditional probability of one event given another for any two events A and B that have probabilities (we implicitly assume throughout this discussion that any probability that occurs in a denominator has nonzero probability). Events A and B are independent if P (A ∩ B)= P (A) P (B). For example, if Alice flips a fair coin, let A be the event that the coin ends up Heads. If Bob rolls a fair six-sided die, let B be the event that he rolls a 3. -

ABSTRACT Fig 1: General cryptographic system. The theme of our research is to provide security for the data that contains alphanumeric values during its transmission. The best known multiple letter encryption cipher is the play fair, which treats the plain text as single units and translates these units into cipher text. It is highly difficult to the intruder to understand or to decrypt the cipher text. In this we discussed about the existing play fair algorithm, its merits and demerits. The existing play fair algorithm is based on the use of a 5 X 5 matrix of letters constructed using a keyword. This algorithm can only allow the text that contains alphabets only. For this we have proposed an enhancement to the existing algorithm, that a 6 X 6 matrix can be constructed. General Terms Encryption, Decryption, Plaintext, Cipher text. 2. EXISTING TECHNIQUES All cryptographic algorithms are based on two general Keywords principals: substitution, in which each element in the plaintext Substitution, Transposition. (bit, letter and group of bits or letters) is mapped into another element and in transposition, the elements of the plaintext have 1. -
Related-Key Cryptanalysis of 3-WAY, Biham-DES,CAST, DES-X, Newdes, RC2, and TEA
Related-Key Cryptanalysis of 3-WAY, Biham-DES,CAST, DES-X, NewDES, RC2, and TEA John Kelsey Bruce Schneier David Wagner Counterpane Systems U.C. Berkeley kelsey,schneier @counterpane.com [email protected] f g Abstract. We present new related-key attacks on the block ciphers 3- WAY, Biham-DES, CAST, DES-X, NewDES, RC2, and TEA. Differen- tial related-key attacks allow both keys and plaintexts to be chosen with specific differences [KSW96]. Our attacks build on the original work, showing how to adapt the general attack to deal with the difficulties of the individual algorithms. We also give specific design principles to protect against these attacks. 1 Introduction Related-key cryptanalysis assumes that the attacker learns the encryption of certain plaintexts not only under the original (unknown) key K, but also under some derived keys K0 = f(K). In a chosen-related-key attack, the attacker specifies how the key is to be changed; known-related-key attacks are those where the key difference is known, but cannot be chosen by the attacker. We emphasize that the attacker knows or chooses the relationship between keys, not the actual key values. These techniques have been developed in [Knu93b, Bih94, KSW96]. Related-key cryptanalysis is a practical attack on key-exchange protocols that do not guarantee key-integrity|an attacker may be able to flip bits in the key without knowing the key|and key-update protocols that update keys using a known function: e.g., K, K + 1, K + 2, etc. Related-key attacks were also used against rotor machines: operators sometimes set rotors incorrectly. -

Chapter 2 the Data Encryption Standard (DES)
Chapter 2 The Data Encryption Standard (DES) As mentioned earlier there are two main types of cryptography in use today - symmet- ric or secret key cryptography and asymmetric or public key cryptography. Symmet- ric key cryptography is the oldest type whereas asymmetric cryptography is only being used publicly since the late 1970’s1. Asymmetric cryptography was a major milestone in the search for a perfect encryption scheme. Secret key cryptography goes back to at least Egyptian times and is of concern here. It involves the use of only one key which is used for both encryption and decryption (hence the use of the term symmetric). Figure 2.1 depicts this idea. It is necessary for security purposes that the secret key never be revealed. Secret Key (K) Secret Key (K) ? ? - - - - Plaintext (P ) E{P,K} Ciphertext (C) D{C,K} Plaintext (P ) Figure 2.1: Secret key encryption. To accomplish encryption, most secret key algorithms use two main techniques known as substitution and permutation. Substitution is simply a mapping of one value to another whereas permutation is a reordering of the bit positions for each of the inputs. These techniques are used a number of times in iterations called rounds. Generally, the more rounds there are, the more secure the algorithm. A non-linearity is also introduced into the encryption so that decryption will be computationally infeasible2 without the secret key. This is achieved with the use of S-boxes which are basically non-linear substitution tables where either the output is smaller than the input or vice versa. 1It is claimed by some that government agencies knew about asymmetric cryptography before this. -

Only Bob has the decryption key. Possible Attacks Eve (the eavesdropper) is trying to: ● Read Alice’s message. ● Find Alice’s key to read all of Alice’s messages. ● Corrupt Alice’s message, so Bob receives an altered message. ● Pretend to be Alice and communicate with Bob. Why this matters ● Confidentiality Only Bob should be able to read Alice’s message. ● Data integrity Alice’s message shouldn’t be altered in any way. ● Authentication Bob wants to make sure Alice actually sent the message. ● Non-repudiation Alice cannot claim she didn’t send the message.
