ABSTRACT

Personal privacy is of utmost importance in the global networked world. One of

the best tools to help people safeguard their personal information is the use of
cryptography. In this research work we present new cryptographic algorithms that
employ the use of asymmetric keys. The proposed algorithms encipher message
into nonlinear equations using public key and decipher by the intended party using
private key. If a third party intercepted the message, it will be difficult to decipher
it due to the multilevel ciphers of the proposed application. This research work
implements a system for the application of Cryptography in Information
Technology. owever, a general overview of cryptography and its various types is
provided and various algorithms are discussed. ! detailed review of the sub"ect of
network security, hash key algorithm and cryptography in digital signatures is then
presented. The purpose of the research work is to develop a system that one can
used to demonstrate the application of cryptography in Information Technology.
The #oftware methodology used is the $aterfall methodology.
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1BACKROUND OF STUDY
%ata #ecurity is one of the ma"or concerns of every organi&ation today,
information are store in different location, un'authori&ed access to such
information can reduce the integrity of such information and also users can
easily temper with such data in order to avoid a situation where system
administrator and un'authori&ed users who gain access to such information, is
good to make the information un'meanifull so that he(she will not temper with
the integrity of such information. !lso Information that are communicate over
the web are not secured if such information are not properly secured since
computer hackers can access such information before it get to the recipient and
thereby the integrity of such information is violated, in order to secured our
information the need to employed the use of cryptography and ash key
algorithm becomes a sub"ect of focus in this research work, Cryptography is the
science of using mathematics to encrypt and decrypt data. Cryptography
enables you to store sensitive information or transmit it across insecure
networks )like the Internet* so that it cannot be read by anyone e+cept the
intended recipient. $hile cryptography is the science of securing data,
Cryptanalysis is the science of analy&ing and breaking secure communication.
Classical cryptanalysis involves an interesting combination of analytical
reasoning, application of mathematical tools, pattern finding, patience,
determination, and luck. Cryptanalysts are also called attackers. Cryptology
embraces both cryptography and cryptanalysis. ! related discipline is
Stegangrap!y, which is the science of hiding messages rather than making them
unreadable. #teganography is not cryptography, it is a form of coding. It relies
on the secrecy of the mechanism used to hide the message. If, for e+ample, you
encode a secret message by putting each letter as the first letter of the first word
of every sentence, it-s secret until someone knows to look for it, and then it
provides no security at all. .There are two kinds of cryptography in this world/
cryptography that will stop your kid sister from reading your files, and
cryptography that will stop ma"or governments from reading your files )#trong
and $eak cryptography*.
Cryptography can be strong or weak, as e+plained above. Cryptographic
strength is measured in the time and resources it would require to recover the
plainte+t. The result of strong cryptography is cipher te+t that is very difficult
to decipher without possession of the appropriate decoding tool. ow
difficult0 1iven all of today-s computing power and available time2even a
billion computers doing a billion checks a second2it is not possible to
decipher the result of strong cryptography before the end of the universe.
One would think, then, that strong cryptography would hold up rather well
against even an e+tremely determined cryptanalyst. $ho-s really to say0 3o
one has proven that the strongest encryption obtainable today will hold up
under tomorrow-s computing power. owever, the strong cryptography
employed by P1P is the best available today. 4igilance and conservatism will
protect you better, however, than claims of impenetrability.
! cryptographic algorithm, or cipher, is a mathematical function used in the
encryption and decryption process. ! cryptographic algorithm works in
combination with a key2a word, number, or phrase2to encrypt the plainte+t.
The same plainte+t encrypts to different cipher te+t with different keys. The
security of encrypted data is entirely dependent on two things/ the strength of
the cryptographic algorithm and the secrecy of the key. ! cryptographic
algorithm, plus all possible keys and all the protocols that make it work,
comprise a cryptosystem.
1." STATE#ENT OF PROB$E#S
5asically in most organi&ation today data security is at a very low level where
information of the organi&ation are kept in form of files in the cabinet,
information of such lack security since un'authori&ed users can easily gain
access to such information and the integrity of such information is lost, even in
some organi&ation that have automated system the system lacks security since
even the system administrator can easily temper with the information. It is
necessary to secure information. 6ven in our email system today there are
attacks against password where one can guess user password, also spyware are
developed that steals user password and store it in the system where the original
owner can access those password thereby the integrity of such email is violated.
7any systems break because they rely on user'generated passwords. 8eft to
themselves, people don9t choose strong passwords. If they9re forced to use strong
passwords, they can9t remember them. If the password becomes a key, it9s usually
much easier''and faster''to guess the password than it is to brute'force the key,
we9ve seen elaborate security systems fail in this way. #ome user interfaces make
the problem even worse/ limiting the passwords to eight characters, converting
everything to lower case, etc. 6ven passphrases can be weak/ searching through
:;'character phrases is often much easier than searching through <:'bit random
keys. $e9ve also seen key'recovery systems that circumvent strong session keys by
using weak passwords for key'recovery.
1.% AI#S AND OB&ECTI'ES
This research work is aims at discussing the application of cryptography in
Information Technology.
The Ob"ectives of the research work is to develop a system that will secure data
using cryptography and encryption algorithm so that the system will attains the
following goals.
Cn(i)entiality/ Information can only be seen by authori&ed entities
Integrity/ 6nsuring that information is not corrupted or alters by un'authori&ed
entities.
A*aila+ility, 1uaranteeing that the information is available to authori&ed
entities and !uthentication providing assurance of the identities of entities.
1.- SI.NIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
#ecuring data is one of the ma"or things every organi&ation will want to do
since the information is very important for their day to day running of the
organi&ation. 6ncryption is one of the most important and most affordable
defenses available to a small business. If a hacker manages to get past all your
other security measures, good encryption properly used will stop him in his
tracks.The way most organi&ation information are temper with since there is no
standard security measure for securing such information, for an organi&ation
that have an automated system the database is not encrypted so any users that
have access to the database can easily temper with such information in order to
prevent such incident from happening the need to secure such data using
cryptography and hash key algorithm becomes a sub"ect of interest in these
research work, the use of cryptography and modern encryption techniques are
used to secure data.
1./ SCOPE OF THE STUDY

1.1 RESEARCH #ETHODO$O.Y
To achieve this research work, we employed the underlying technique to gather
data and analy&ed the data to accomplish the task. The #oftware methodology used
is the waterfall method. The waterfall model is a sequential design process, often
used in software development processes, in which progress is seen as flowing
steadily downwards )like a waterfall* through the phases of Conception, Initiation,
!nalysis, %esign, Construction, Testing, Production(Implementation and
7aintenance. The unmodified =waterfall model=. Progress flows from the top to
the bottom, like a waterfall. The waterfall development model originates in the
manufacturing and construction industries/ highly structured physical
environments in which after'the'fact changes are prohibitively costly, if not
impossible. #ince no formal software development methodologies e+isted at the
time, this hardware'oriented model was simply adapted for software development.
1.2 DEFINITION OF TER#S
ENCRYPTION is the process of transforming information )referred to as
plainte+t* using an algorithm )called a cipher* to make it unreadable to anyone
e+cept those possessing special knowledge, usually referred to as a key
DECRYPTION/ The reverse process, i.e., to make the encrypted information
readable again i.e., to make it unencrypted*
CRYPTO.RAPHY, Is the science of using mathematics to encrypt and
decrypt data.
CRYPTANA$YSIS, Is the science of analy&ing and breaking secure
communication.

various security mechanisms. The security mechanisms are primarily based on
cryptographic algorithms like symmetric'%6#, !6#, asymmetric'@#!, 6CC.
1enerally, the logical conclusion is to use both kind of algorithms and their
combinations to achieve optimal speed and security levels. It is hoped that the
reader will have a wider perspective on security in general, and better understand
how to reduce and manage risk personally.
"." CRYPTO.RAPHY
)Dimmermann, >;;E* One way to strengthen security in computer systems is to
encrypt sensitive records and messages in transit and in storage. The basic model
of a cryptographic system is illustrated in Figure below. The original unenciphered
te+t is called the plainte+t. The act of converting a plain te+t message to its
cipherte+t form is called enciphering )Potdar, >;;:*. In its cipher form, a message
cannot be read by anyone but the intended receiver. @eversing that act )i.e., cipher
te+t form to plain te+t message* is deciphering. 6nciphering and deciphering are
more commonly referred to as encryption and decryption, respectively.

TYPES OF ATTACKS
There are several types of code'breaking attacks. The first, known as the cipherte+t
attack, occurs when an adversary comes into possession of only the cipherte+t
)7ilenkovic, GEE>* The known plainte+t problem occurs when the intruder has
some matched portions of the cipherte+t and the plainte+t )!lallayah,>;G;* The
most dangerous is the chosen plainte+t problem, in which the attacker has the
ability to encrypt pieces of plainte+t at will. 5rute'force is the ultimate attack on a
cipher, by which all possible keys are successively tested until the correct one is
encountered )!lallayah,>;G;* ,Codebook attacks are attacks that take advantage of
the property by which a given block of plainte+t is always encrypted to the same
block of cipherte+t as long as the same key is used. ! =man'in'the'middle= attack
is an attack that is placed by an active attacker who can listen to the
communication between two entities and can also change the contents of this
communication. $hile performing this attack, the attacker pretends to be one of
the parties in front of the other party.
"." ANA$YSIS OF THE E:ISTIN. SYSTE#
Over the year data security has pose a lot problem as the result of unauthori&ed
access to relevant data. From the investigation gather from the e+isting system, it
was spell out that the method employed in data security where "ust mere password
of relevant document in directory. Password protection where the only measure
used to secure data from unauthori&ed user of the system, which can be overwrite
by hackers thereby e+posing data to unauthori&ed user.
".% AD'ANTA.ES OF THE E:ISTIN. SYSTE#
The e+isting system is easy to implement since the password does not
involved key or mathematical algorithm

".- DISAD'ANTA.ES OF THE E:ISTIN. SYSTE#
#ince the e+isting system used only password protection the confidentiality
of the data is violated.
The e+isting may e+pose the content of the document to hackers because of

There is no integrity of data

%.1 Syste> Design
#ystems design is the process of defining the architecture, components, modules,
interfaces, and data for a system to satisfy specified requirements. One could see it
as the application of systems theory to product development. There is some overlap
with the disciplines of systems analysis, systems architecture and systems
engineering. If the broader topic of product development =blends the perspective of
marketing, design, and manufacturing into a single approach to product
development,= then design is the act of taking the marketing information and
creating the design of the product to be manufactured. #ystems design is therefore
the process of defining and developing systems to satisfy specified requirements of
the user. ?ntil the GEE;s systems design had a crucial and respected role in the data
processing industry. In the GEE;s standardi&ation of hardware and software resulted
in the ability to build modular systems. The increasing importance of software
running on generic platforms has enhanced the discipline of software engineering.
Ob"ect'oriented analysis and design methods are becoming the most widely used
methods for computer systems design. The ?78 has become the standard
language in ob"ect'oriented analysis and design. It is widely used for modeling
software systems and is increasingly used for high designing non'software systems
and organi&ations.
%."O+@e7ti*es ( Design
The purpose of systems analysis and design is for a business to increase their
efficiency, because when you look at a current system you will see flaws that need
fi+ed and within the new system that you design you will take these into
consideration. ! new system will make the business more profitable. The
ob"ectives of this pro"ect are to be able to demonstrate the processes involve in the

P;+li7 5ey 7ryptgrap!y
Public'key algorithms are asymmetric algorithms and, therefore, are based on the
use of two different keys, instead of "ust one. In public'key cryptography, the two
keys are called the private key and the public key
Pri*ate 5ey/ This key must be known only by its owner.
P;+li7 5ey/ This key is known to everyone )it is public*
Relatin +et4een +t! 5eys/ $hat one key encrypts, the other one
decrypts, and vice versa. That means that if you encrypt something with my
public key )which you would know, because it9s public /'*, I would need my
private key to decrypt the message.
%.0.1 A se7;re 7n*ersatin ;sing p;+li785ey 7ryptgrap!y
In a basic secure conversation using public'key cryptography, the sender encrypts
the message using the receiver9s public key. @emember that this key is known to
everyone. The encrypted message is sent to the receiving end, who will decrypt the
message with his private key. Only the receiver can decrypt the message because
no one else has the private key. !lso, notice how the encryption algorithm is the
same at both ends/ what is encrypted with one key is decrypted with the other key
using the same algorithm.
Fig %.- 6ncryption !lgorithm Flow %iagram
%.0." Prs an) 7ns ( p;+li785ey syste>s
Public'key systems have a clear advantage over symmetric algorithms/ there is no
need to agree on a common key for both the sender and the receiver. !s seen in the
previous e+ample, if someone wants to receive an encrypted message, the sender
only needs to know the receiver9s public key )which the receiver will provide,
publishing the public key in no way compromises the secure transmission*. !s long
as the receiver keeps the private key secret, no one but the receiver will be able to
decrypt the messages encrypted with the corresponding public key. This is due to
the fact that, in public'key systems, it is relatively easy to compute the public key
from the private key, but very hard to compute the private key from the public key
)which is the one everyone knows*. In fact, some algorithms need several months
)and even years* of constant computation to obtain the private key from the public
key.

This is the coordination and controlling of the activities needed to put the
system in operation. The goal is to bring the proposed system to life. This
stage mainly involves installation of the hardware to support the system such
as the $eb #erver
The implementation of this system entails all those processes undertaken
from the conversion of the old system to the new system, final documents

CHAPTER FI'E
SU##ARY AND CONC$USION
/.1 SU##ARY
#torage systems are increasingly sub"ect to attacks. Cryptographic file systems
mitigate the danger of e+posing data by using encryption and integrity protection
methods and guarantee end'to'end security for their clients. This paper describes a
generic design for cryptographic file systems and its reali&ation in a distributed
storage'area network )#!3* file system. Jey management is integrated with the
meta'data service of the #!3 file system. The implementation supports file
encryption and integrity protection through hash trees. 5oth techniques have been
implemented in the client file system driver. $e also demonstrate that the overhead
is noticeable for some artificially constructed use cases, but that it is very small for
typical file system applications.
/." CONC$USION
The work accomplished during this pro"ect can be summari&ed with the following
points/ In this pro"ect we have presented a new system for the combination of
different cryptography algorithms using four keys which could be proven a highly
secured method for data communication in near future. #teganography, especially
combined with cryptography, is a powerful tool which enables people to
communicate without possible eavesdroppers even knowing there is a form of
communication in the first place. The main advantage of this #ystem is that the
method used for encryption, !6#, is very secure and the %CT transformation
#teganography techniques are very hard to detect.
/.% RECO##ENDATION
The system is highly recommended to all organi&ation and individual for
protecting their files and documents by encrypting the content of their work such
that the only intend reader or user will be able to decrypt the files and documents.
The system can also be improve for future purpose by tracing packet sent over a
network in order not for an intruder to hack the content of their file and decrypted
the files and document before getting to the intended user.
