The Multi-Prime RSA Permutation Crypto System Based on Clear Ring

/in /by

Cryptography secures information through encryption, allowing only authorized access. The RSA algorithm, which relies on the difficulty of factoring  where  and  are primes, is a popular public-key cryptosystem. Advances in factorization techniques and computing power necessitate improvements to methods for enhanced security. This study proposes a multi-prime RSA permutation cryptosystem based on the algebraic structure of a clear ring as a modification of RSA. It uses three primes  to form modulus , increasing modulus complexity and thus security. Permutation is applied in binary code form to produce more random ciphertext, alongside the application of a clear ring structure, specifically, the ring of integers modulo 256 with addition and multiplication modulo 256 based on ASCII. This ring allows each element to be expressed as a sum of a unit and a regular unit. The algorithm strengthens key generation and creates varied representations for the same plaintext through unit and regular unit addition, complicating cryptanalysis. Permutation further randomizes ciphertext. However, the method requires careful implementation to avoid errors. This innovation supports digital security.

Enhancing Network Security through Advanced Authentication and Key Management Mechanisms

This paper introduces the SEAKS-PKMv2 protocol, a robust security mechanism aimed at addressing vulnerabilities within the PKMv2 framework, particularly focusing on mutual authentication, key management, and encryption in mobile WiMAX networks. By integrating RSA-based and EAP-based authentication methods, SEAKS-PKMv2 establishes a secure environment that mitigates risks such as replay, man-in-the-middle and interleaving attacks. The protocol adopts a distributed authentication and localized key management approach, facilitating efficient and secure network access and data transmission. Through simulation, we evaluate the SEAKS-PKMv2 protocol’s performance in terms of packet delivery ratio, overhead, processing time, and resilience against rogue relay station attacks. The findings demonstrate significant improvements in network security and efficiency, confirming the effectiveness of SEAKS-PKMv2 in enhancing the integrity and confidentiality of communications in distributed network settings.
