Design and Analysis of DNA Encryption and Decryption Technique based on Asymmetric Cryptography System

The security of transmitting information from one point to another through different media is an important issue in the modern digital society. Researchers have consistently developed and proposed modern data transfer systems in order to transfer data in a safe manner. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) based encryption technology is a new encryption model used to protect data during transmission. Current systems that use DNA technology to encrypt Arabic texts are virtually non-existent and intended to hide data rather than encrypting it (i.e., steganography). In this research, an asymmetric DNA encryption technology is offered to encrypt and decrypt simple Arabic scripts. This technology depends on the integrity between asymmetric cryptography (i.e. RSA algorithm), dynamic encoding, and data dependency with the scope of DNA computing technology. Asymmetric cryptosystem is used only to begin the process of encryption and decryption, which is then processed fully using DNA computing. The idea of the proposed algorithm aims to generate a dynamic DNA table that depend on plain text, that aims to generate a dynamically generating 14 circular keys based on a multi-level security. Here, JAVA platform is used to implement the proposed work, and the randomization and avalanche effect are used to prove the efficiency of the proposed algorithm. This technique provides a significant change in the encoded text with an average of 53% of the avalanche characteristic.

RSA has two keys, namely public key and secret key. RSA bases its encryption and decryption process on the concepts of prime numbers and modulo arithmetic. Both encryption and decryption keys are integers. The encryption key is not kept secret and given to the public (so called the public key), but the key for decryption is confidential (private key). To find the decryption key, it is done by factoring an integer into its prime factors. Therefore to strengthen the security of the RSA algorithm it is necessary to process the key making by factoring an integer into its prime factors in general. Because this is so common, a key modification to the RSA algorithm needs to be done. Modifications are carried out by using another algorithm that uses random numbers. By entering random numbers, it is considered able to eliminate the possibility of an attacker guessing the results by knowing the algorithm. One of these algorithms is the Blum Blum Shub Algorithm (BBS) algorithm. The purpose of using the Blum Blum Shub (BBS) algorithm is to make the key more difficult to guess, making it difficult for cryptanalysts to read the message or information. Based on the results of the above analysis that the RSA algorithm can be used for key formation by using the Blum Blum Shub algorithm as a key used in the RSA algorithm

During the last five years, spiking neural P (SN P) systems have attracted a lot of attention in the field of cryptography since these systems can more efficiently support advanced and complex cryptographic algorithms due to their high computational capabilities. Specifically, these systems can be seen as a potential solution to efficiently performing asymmetric algorithms, which are more demanding than symmetric systems. This factor becomes critical, especially in resource-constrained single-board computer systems, since many of these systems are currently used to ensure the security of IoT applications in portable systems. In this work, we present for the first time the implementation of an asymmetric encryption algorithm called ElGamal based on spiking neural P systems and their cutting-edge variants. The proposed design involves the encryption and decryption processes. Specifically, we propose the design of a neural network to efficiently perform the extended Euclidean algorithm used in the decryption task. Here, we exert major efforts to create a compact and high-performance circuit to perform the extended Euclidean algorithm since the calculation of this algorithm is the most demanding when the decryption process is required. Finally, we perform several tests to show the computational capabilities of our proposal in comparison to conventional implementations on single-board computer systems. Our results show that the proposed encryption/decryption scheme potentially allows its use to ensure confidentiality, data integrity, and secure authentication, among other applications for resource-constrained embedded systems.

Sensors are the tiny nodes which are used for getting information from any particular area for some particular situations. These are usually deployed in such places where existence of human may not be possible. These are very small electronic devices having very short amount of resources like memory, power as well as bandwidth. A number of nodes are deployed which are connected with each other and also connected with a base station. While deploying on particular place, there might occur two types of problems; nodes may be in excess or very far from each other. If the nodes are in majority, then the network may be inefficient due to interference and malicious access control collisions. Efficiency of network is the main issue to be resolved at priority bases. While transferring of information from node to node or from node to base station, the least time must be consumed. As much as the network will be efficient, the data will be received and sent easily from node to node or at sink. For making network reliable and secure, cryptographic techniques have been used. A hybrid algorithm has been suggested here using both symmetric and asymmetric cryptographic techniques. A message is divided into two parts containing Meta data and original data. Symmetric cryptography has been implemented on Meta data part while asymmetric cryptography has been applied for the original part of message. This approach will make our network more efficient as well as secure and reliable.

Merging the wireless infrastructure network with the wireless mobile ad-hoc networks constitutes hybrid wireless networks (HWNs). Quality of service (QoS) demands are available with the help of HWNs. However, these networks are subjected to many types of attacks because of their open wireless medium. To enhance the security of HWNs, it is necessary to provide secure routing protocols. Several routing protocols have been proposed for HWNs, one of them is the quality of service-oriented distributed (QOD) routing protocol. In this paper, two security mechanisms have been proposed for the QOD protocol. The first mechanism is used to protect transmitted data in the network using asymmetric and symmetric cryptography. The second mechanism has been proposed to enhance the security of the QOD routing protocol using keyed hash message authentication code (HMAC). The second security mechanism assumed that there is a secret key shared between each pair of neighbor nodes. Also, asymmetric cryptography is used to exchange the secret key. The secret key is used to include the message authentication code (MAC) for each message exchanged between the neighbor nodes. A network simulator NS2 is used to simulate our proposed schemes.

An asymmetric encryption method in 4f system based on interference is proposed in this paper. The original image is transformed into two white stationary noise images, and the decryption keys are designed to be different from the encryption keys to realize asymmetric encryption. The decryption process is implemented in a 4f system of image addition with grating. This method has very high security as the asymmetric cryptosystem encryption system but also can be easy implemented in optical system. Besides, holographic plate or photorefractive crystal is not necessary in the encryption process. The simulation results prove the feasibility and security of this method.

With the rapid development of computer network technology, information security has attracted increasing attention. Due to the characteristics of multi-dimensional operation and parallel processing capability, optical image encryption techniques have been receiving more and more attention. Since the well-known double random phase encoding technique was proposed, many other methods based on optical information processing means such as the use of optical transform, interference, and polarized light encoding, have been proposed for optical image encryption. However, recent researches have demonstrated that traditional optical encryption techniques are symmetric cryptosystems, in which decryption keys are identical to encryption keys and they have been found to be vulnerable to different types of attacks, such as known plaintext and chosen plaintext attacks. To overcome this shortcoming, asymmetric cryptosystems based on nonlinear phase-truncation techniques and phase retrieval algorithm have been proposed. Asymmetric cryptosystem is a cryptographic system in which encryption keys are different from decryption keys. The encryption keys are used as public keys which are disseminated widely, and the decryption keys are used as private keys which are known only to the authorized users. So, asymmetric cryptosystem can offer a higher-level security than symmetric cryptosystem. However, asymmetric cryptosystems based on phase retrieval algorithms require a lot of computational time, and asymmetric cryptosystems based on phase-truncated Fourier transforms have been found to be vulnerable to special attack. Therefore, in this paper, a novel asymmetric image encryption method is proposed by using the gyrator transform and vector operation. The original image is encrypted into two phase masks with vector operation. One is a random phase mask and the other is a phase mask related to the original image. In the encryption process, the random phase mask is used as a phase key and the other phase mask is transformed by gyrator transform. The transform result is performed by Fourier transform after being modulated by a phase distribution. The ciphertext is the amplitude of the above result. Compared with previous encryption schemes, the suggested method has two advantages. Firstly, we have proposed a new asymmetric encryption method based on the gyrator transform and vector operation. The decryption process is different from the encryption process. The gyrator transform and Fourier transform are used in the encryption process, while only the inverse operation of Fourier transform is employed in the decryption process. In addition, the decryption keys produced in the encryption process are different from the encryption keys. Therefore, the proposed scheme has high resistance against the conventional attacks. Secondly, the encrypted result is real-valued, which is convenient for display, transmission and storage.Numerical simulations illustrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed encryption scheme.

Internet of Things has become a vital component in diverse applications essentially smart cities, automated transportation, environmental monitoring, and many more. With the increased dependency on IoT and its association with the current Internet, efficiency and security have become essentials to guarantee the correct behavior of IoT devices or nodes in the network. This paper focuses on enhancing the security of data, gathered from remote health monitoring of patients using CoAP. The security in such sensor network can be ensured using asymmetric cryptography techniques. The public key algorithms such as ECC and RSA have been implemented for ensuring confidentiality, integrity in sensor network, and authorization between patient nodes and client. The work also compares these algorithms on parameters such as time consumption in generating keys along with signature generation and verification of ECC and RSA algorithms, energy consumption, and other factors such as average power consumption, radio duty cycle, to check their compatibility in constrained environments.

Since Diffie and Hellman's pioneering work on asymmetric cryptography in 1976, digital signature technology has evolved through three phases—theoretical foundation, standardization, and diversified innovation—emerging as a cornerstone of trust in digital societies. Theoretically, foundational frameworks were established by RSA, DSA, and Schnorr algorithms. Standardization efforts, including NIST DSS, ISO/IEC series, and national systems (e.g., China's SM2/SM9, Russia's GOST), fostered a multipolar ecosystem. Extended-attribution technologies (blind, group, and ring signatures) addressed privacy and scenario-specific demands. Current challenges, such as quantum computing threats and privacy-regulation trade-offs, drive advancements in post-quantum cryptography (lattice-based signatures, hash-based XMSS) and privacy-enhancing mechanisms (verifiably encrypted signatures, homomorphic signatures), guided by ISO/IEC redactable standards and NIST's post-quantum initiative. Moving forward, digital signatures will deepen capabilities in provable security, quantum resistance, and adaptive policy control, underpinning trust architectures for emerging ecosystems like Web3 and the metaverse.

Digital image is digital pictures on a two-dimensional plane which consists of pixels, where every pixels has Red, Green, Blue (RGB) with varying intensity depending on the image. In this thesis digital image is encrypted using hybrid algorithm Vigenere and RSA. Vigenere algorithm is a symmetric key algorithm which is a variety from Caesar algorithm where the similarity is in both of them are based on shifting the index of alphabet letters. RSA algorithm are based on the difficulty of factorizing large numbers that have 2 and only 2 factors (Prime numbers). The encryption process starts with getting the RGB intensity of each pixels from the image, then the RGB values are encrypted using Vigenere algorithm, after that RSA Algorithm encrypt those values, the values of RSA Algorithm encryption are limited so the value can be within the intervals of RGB values and the after limitation the values after being limited become the RGB values in the encrypted image. The decryption process is the inverse of encryption process, which enables the encrypted image to become the initial image before encryption. The program for encrypting and decrypting image are made using Java programming language with Netbeans IDE 8.2 software. The result of this implementation on image file donbass.jpg with the length of Vigenere key of 5 those are k1=144, k2=166 , k3=38 , k4=204 , k5=98, and RSA Algorithm keys are n=2201, e=1139, d=59, the results from the encrypted image is a visually very different image from the initial image. While in the decryption process, the encrypted image is able to be decrypted back to the initial image.

Cryptographic Primitives that Resist Backdooring and Subversion

Recently, there has been a significant increase in the number of Internet users. Thus, digital data has occupied the highest rank in our time, because most companies and governments adopt the total dependence for the transmission of their data transactions with customers and banking transactions over the World Wide Web. Therefore, total reliance on digital data needs to secure this data and preserve it from theft and modification in order to reach the intended user intact without distortion, and this is done by securing this data using encryption with its various techniques. There are many technologies that encrypt the data sent to the receiving party called encryption techniques. This research will examine the analysis of different encryption techniques, for example, symmetric cryptography technique and asymmetric cryptography techniques, Rivest Shamir and Adleman, Diffie-Hellman, Digital Signature Algorithm, (ECC) Elliptic curve cryptography, and how can employ them and explore the best methods of cryptography techniques that give complete confidential and transmitted data.

Cryptography is a technique used today hiding any confidential information from the attack of an intruder. Today data communication mainly depends upon digital data communication, where prior requirement is data security, so that data should reach to the intended user. The protection of multimedia data, sensitive information like credit cards, banking transactions and social security numbers is becoming very important. The protection of these confidential data from unauthorized access can be done with many encryption techniques. So for providing data security many cryptography techniques are employed, such as symmetric and asymmetric techniques. In this review paper different asymmetric cryptography techniques, such as RSA (Rivest Shamir and Adleman), Diffie-Hellman, DSA (Digital Signature Algorithm), ECC (Elliptic curve cryptography) are analyzed. Also in this paper, a survey on existing work which uses different techniques for image encryption is done and a general introduction about cryptography is also given. This study extends the performance parameters used in encryption processes and analyzing on their security issues.

Cloud computing is one of the most research hot topics in IT industry nowadays. A lot of startup organizations are adopting cloud eagerly due to massive cloud facilities available with minimal investment; but as every coin has two sides, so with cloud. In the cloud, the user data is stored at some off-site location. So cloud data security is one of the main concerns of any organizations, before shifting to the cloud. The data owners can ensure the data security at its premises using firewalls, VPN (Virtual Private Network) like most used security options. But as data owner stores their sensitive data to remote servers and users access required data from these remote cloud servers, which is not under their control. So storing data outside client premises, raises the issue of data security. Thus, one of the primary research areas in cloud computing is cloud data protection. In this research paper, strategies followed include categorization of the data on the basis of their sensitivity and importance, followed by the various cryptography techniques such as the AES (a Symmetric Cryptography technique), SHA-1 (a Hashing technique), and ECC (Elliptic curve Cryptography (an Asymmetric Cryptography technique). Till date, most of the authors were using a single key for both encryption and decryption which is a weak target of various identified malicious attacks. Hence, in the designed hybrid algorithm, two separate keys are used for each encryption and decryption. The cloud user who wants to access cloud data, need to first register with CSP and cloud owner. After registration, user login id, password and OTP (One Time Password) sent to the user registered mobile number, are required to access the encrypted cloud data.

In this paper, a genetic secret key based technique for neural encryption (AGKNE) has been proposed for online transmission of data/information in wireless communication. In this method both the communicating party receive the similar input vector, generate an output bit and are trained based on the output bit. Length of the key depends on the number of input and output neurons. Synchronized identical weight vectors are used to create chromosomes pool. Genetic secret key is generated on calculating the fitness function, which is the hamming distance between two chromosomes. GA operators like crossover and mutation are also used to add elitism of chromosomes. Plain stream passes through recursive modulo 2-substitution operation to generate intermediate cipher which is again encrypted using neuro genetic key to form the 2 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">nd</sup> level cipher stream. Finally, chaining and cascaded xoring of neural key with the identical length intermediate cipher text is done to generate the cipher. Receiver will use identical neural weight secret key for performing deciphering process for generating the neuro genetic encrypted cipher text and secret key for decoding. Finally modulo-2 secret key uses to generate plain text. A session key based transmission has also been proposed using 161-bit key format of 14 different segments [7]. Parametric tests are done and results are compared in terms of Chi-Square test, response time in transmission with some existing classical techniques, which shows comparable results for the proposed system.
