Abstract - The confidential details transferred through the
internet are hacked by phishing in an electronic
communication world. So information security plays an
important role. The cryptographic algorithms are applied
over many applications for secure transmission of data
against malignant attacks. In this work, a discussion is
made based on a method for the data security
authentication in a network using the combination of
symmetric and asymmetric algorithms. In order to have
data security, all the data packets are encrypted and
decrypted using symmetric cryptography algorithm AES
and authentication can be obtained by asymmetric
cryptography all using the RSA algorithm.
Key Words: AES, RSA, Cryptography, Encryption,
Decryption.
1. INTRODUCTION
The security in the network plays an important role and
can be achieved by different cryptographic algorithms.
Cryptography is the science and art of transforming
messages to make them secure and immune to attacks by
authenticating the sender to the receiver within the
network. Cryptography basically works on the principle of
mathematics that generates different algorithms known.
The cryptographic algorithms are of two types: symmetric
key and asymmetric key algorithms. The symmetric key
algorithm uses a single key to encrypt and decrypt the
data whereas, the asymmetric key algorithm uses two
types of keys i.e. the public key for the encryption and
private key for the decryption. Two important properties
of cryptosystems are its speed and security. To solve the
problem of attacks and threats the system needs to have
strong security. In this project, the work is done to
implement a security mechanism that will hold against
security issues. Security is a process and not a product.
The password is being the most common authentication
technique which provides the claimant access to system
resources. For encryption, symmetric algorithms and
asymmetric algorithms can be used to design a secure
system, but there are some drawbacks. Like the AES
algorithm is symmetric key algorithm means it makes use
of its secret key for encryption and decryption similarly
RSA algorithm is an asymmetric key algorithm that makes
use of public key and private key. Both the algorithms
have their own disadvantage like the AES algorithm is fast
but vulnerable to the Brute force attack and the RSA
algorithm is slow but provides high security. So, a
mechanism is designed using both the algorithms which
help to overcome the problems of security in networking.
2. PROBLEM STATEMENT
The main objective of this work is to achieve data
confidentiality and authentication by the RSA
cryptographic algorithm followed by the AES
cryptographic algorithm. So, a mechanism is designed
using both the algorithms which help to overcome the
problems of security. We have proposed a secure
mechanism by using Multiple Encryption and OTP. OTP
password provides strong authentication while the AES
algorithm and RSA algorithm provide strong encryption
security.
3. PROPOSED SYSTEM
We have proposed a secure mechanism by using Multiple
Encryption and OTP. OTP password provides strong
authentication while the AES algorithm and RSA algorithm
provide strong encryption security.
3.1. User Authentication:
It consists of two phases in the introduced technique. They
are the Registration Phase and Login Phase.
3.1.1. Registration Phase:
During registration, users will register by providing
personal information like email and username along with
the text-based password.
3.1.2. Login Phase:
To ensure the successful login, first of all, the user will
enter the username and text-based password.
3.2. Multiple Encryptions:
After login successfully if the user wants to send a file or
data to the receiver, the user has to first upload the file.
During the upload phase the file gets encrypted with the
AES algorithm, and the secret key of the AES algorithm
gets encrypted by a public key of the RSA algorithm. The
receiver can download the file by using the private key,

and the system generated OTP password which is sent to
the registered mobile no. The private key is sent to the
receiver through another secured channel like email. Thus,
a strong security mechanism for data security is obtained
by using multiple encryptions.
3.2.1. AES Algorithm:
The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), is a symmetric
block cipher.
The AES (Advanced Encryption Standard), is a symmetric
block cipher. The AES encryption process uses a set of
derived keys known as round keys. These keys are used
with other operations that hold only one block of data to
be encrypted.
The following steps of AES encryption are for 128 bits
block:
1) Derive the set of round keys by using a cipher key.
2) Initialize the state array with the block of data i.e.
plaintext.
3) Starting state array is added with initial round
key.
4) Perform the four operations for nine rounds
which consist of several processing steps like
substitution step, row-wise permutation, a
column-wise mixing step and the addition of the
round key.
5) Perform the tenth and final round which does not
have (MixColumns) it includes only SubBytes,
ShiftRows and AddRoundKey.
6) Copy the final state array as the encrypted data i.e.
cipher text. The process of transforming the
cipher text to plaintext using the same encryption
key is called a decryption process of AES. During
the decryption process, the set of rounds is just
the reverse of encryption rounds.
3.2.2. RSA Algorithm
The Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) cryptosystem is one of
the best-known public key cryptosystems for key
exchange or encryption of blocks of data. The RSA uses a
variable size encryption block and a variable size key. The
key-pair is derived from a very large number, n, that is the
product of two prime no. chosen according to special
rules. The difficulty of factoring large numbers is the basis
of the security of RSA Algorithm. Over 1,000 bits long
numbers are used for RSA. The RSA can be used to encrypt
and decrypt actual messages, and it is very slow if the
message is long. Therefore, the RSA algorithm is useful for
short messages. Since the algorithm uses two keys for
encryption and decryption: the public key and the private
key, the RSA algorithm is considered as an example of
asymmetric key cryptography.
Existing RSA algorithm Key generation:
1) Select two prime numbers, x and y, and x ≠ y.
2) Calculate n = x * y. Calculate φ (n) = (x -1) x (y -1).
3) Select integer e such that gcd (e, φ (n)) = 1 such
that 1 < e < φ (n).
4) Calculate the private key, d = e^(-1) ( mod φ (n)).
5) Then public key = {e, n}.
6) Private key = {d, n}.
7) Encryption: c = me mod n.
8) Decryption: m = cd mod n.
9) Where, c - ciphertext, m – message
The key feature of the public-key cryptosystem is that the
encryption and decryption procedure is done with two
different keys - the public key and private key.

4. CONCLUSION
The project is focused on the improvement of security and
performance of cloud computing by building a secure
mechanism for transferring data over the internet. The
approach is built by using a Text-based password and
Multiple Encryption. One time password provides privacy
and confidentiality by restricting the unauthorized user
and Multiple Encryption prevents the system from the
attacks by maintaining the loopholes of the securing
mechanism.
