Software to Encrypt Messages Using Public-Key Cryptography
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper the development of a software to encrypt messages with asymmetric cryptography is presented. In particular, is used the RSA (Rivest, Shamir and Adleman) algorithm to encrypt alphanumeric information. The software allows to generate different public keys from two prime numbers provided by the user, the user must then select a public-key to generate the corresponding private-key. To encrypt the information, the user must provide the public-key of the recipient as well as the message to be encrypted. The generated ciphertext can be sent through an insecure channel, so that would be very difficult to be interpreted by an intruder or attacker. At the end of the communication, the recipient can decrypt the original message if provide his/her public-key and his/her corresponding private-key. Keywords—Asymmetric cryptography, Prime number, Publickey, Private-key, Software.

The focus of this lecture is efficient public-key encryption. In the previous lecture, we discussed a public-key encryption scheme for 1-bit messages. However, to encrypt an `-bit message, we can simply encrypt ` one-bit messages and send these (and we proved last time that this remains secure in the case of public-key encryption). Here, we first describe (briefly) how to combine public and pri...
متن کاملEvaluation of possibilities of java cryptography architecture and java mail libraries usage to encrypt e-mail messages
The following paper presents the possibilities of applying Java language to encrypt e-mail messages. The introduction includes a short outline about symmetric and asymmetric cryptography and how to build a safe electronic letter is discussed later. Finally, we would like to consider the possibility of implementing the discussed Java model of the safe message creation.

Pretty Good Privacy [3], or PGP, is a milestone in the history of cryptography, because for the first time it makes cryptography accessible to the wide mass of privacy hungry on-line public. PGP was created primarily for encrypting email messages using public or conventional key cryptography. The latter are used mainly to encrypt local files. With public key cryptography, PGP first generates a ...
متن کاملThe First Ten Years of Public - Key
Invited Paper Public-key cryptosystems separate the capacities for encryption and decryption so that 7) many people can encrypt messages in such a way that only one person can read them, or 2) one person can encrypt messages in such a way that many people can read them. This separation allows important improvements in the management of cryptographic keys and makes it possible to 'sign' a purely...
متن کاملA Novel Plausible Deniability Scheme in Secure Steganography
The goal of steganography is to avoid drawing suspicion to the transmission of a hidden message. If suspicion is raised, steganography may fail. The success of steganography depends on the secrecy of the action. If steganography is detected, the system will fail but data security depends on the robustness of the applied algorithm. In this paper, we propose a novel plausible deniability scheme i...
