Encrypted data is more secure to transmit over insecure network and any unauthorized user won't be able to read the encrypted data if he don’t have the secret key to decrypt the message. The ad-hoc network provides a scenario for authorization policies and the secure data retrieval in most challenging cases. Various encryption techniques have been proposed for data and network security. RC6 algorithm is used in the proposed system for encryption and decryption. The security level depends upon encryption key size and the complexity of encryption algorithm. RC6 can support a wide variety of word-lengths, key sizes and number of rounds thus increases the efficiency.

  • Data Encryption Standard
    Data Encryption Standard The Data Encryption Standard (DES /ˌdiːˌiːˈɛs, dɛz/) is a Data Encryption Standard symmetric-key algorithm for the encryption of electronic data. Although insecure, it was highly influential in the advancement of modern cryptography. Developed in the early 1970s atIBM and based on an earlier design by Horst Feistel, the algorithm was submitted to the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) following the agency's invitation to propose a candidate for the protection of sensitive, unclassified electronic government data. In 1976, after consultation with theNational Security Agency (NSA), the NBS eventually selected a slightly modified version (strengthened against differential cryptanalysis, but weakened against brute-force attacks), which was published as an official Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) for the United States in 1977. The publication of an NSA-approved encryption standard simultaneously resulted in its quick international adoption and widespread academic scrutiny. Controversies arose out of classified The Feistel function (F function) of DES design elements, a relatively short key length of the symmetric-key General block cipher design, and the involvement of the NSA, nourishing Designers IBM suspicions about a backdoor. Today it is known that the S-boxes that had raised those suspicions were in fact designed by the NSA to First 1975 (Federal Register) actually remove a backdoor they secretly knew (differential published (standardized in January 1977) cryptanalysis). However, the NSA also ensured that the key size was Derived Lucifer drastically reduced such that they could break it by brute force from [2] attack.

Cryptography finds its application in the areas of Wireless Sensor Network, Smart Card, Identification, and Security. With the ever increasing growth of data communication in the field of ecommerce transactions and mobile communication data security has gained utmost importance. However the conflicting requirements of power, area and throughput of such applications make hardware cryptography an ideal choice. In this context, the RC6 algorithm plays a major role in the hardware cryptography. The conventional RC6 algorithm has difference structure of encryption and decryption. So that the algorithm occupies separate space for encryption and decryption unit which leads to increase in area. Here algorithm is devised by inserting a symmetric layer in which the half of whole RC6 rounds uses encryption procedure and the rest of process employs decryption one. Thus it leads to reduce in area and it has made compromise of speed also. Keywords: Cryptography, Wireless Sensor networks, RC6 algorithm, encryption, decryption I.INTRODUCTION RC6 algorithm requires 128-bit and variable-length block as the data stream is simply XORed with the generated cipher encryption algorithm. It has a modified Feistel key sequence. The key stream is completely independent structure and a disadvantage that it has different algorithm between encryption and decryption.

  • An Efficient VHDL Description and Hardware Implementation of The
    An Efficient VHDL Description and Hardware Implementation of the Triple DES Algorithm A thesis submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science In the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Of the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences June 2014 By Lathika SriDatha Namburi B.Tech, Electronics and Communications Engineering, Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Hyderabad, India, 2011 Thesis Advisor and Committee Chair: Dr. Carla Purdy ABSTRACT Data transfer is becoming more and more essential these days with applications ranging from everyday social networking to important banking transactions. The data that is being sent or received shouldn’t be in its original form but must be coded to avoid the risk of eavesdropping. A number of algorithms to encrypt and decrypt the data are available depending on the level of security to be achieved. Many of these algorithms require special hardware which makes them expensive for applications which require a low to medium level of data security. FPGAs are a cost effective way to implement such algorithms. We briefly survey several encryption/decryption algorithms and then focus on one of these, the Triple DES. This algorithm is currently used in the electronic payment industry as well as in applications such as Microsoft OneNote, Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft system center configuration manager to password protect user content and data. We implement the algorithm in a Hardware Description Language, specifically VHDL and deploy it on an Altera DE1 board which uses a NIOS II soft core processor. The algorithm takes input encoded using a software based Huffman encoding to reduce its redundancy and compress the data.
