A Hybrid Cryptographic Algorithm For Data Storage Security

Abstract:

Cryptography is a way of concealing information in a format only readable to the intended user. Multi-prime and Multi-Power RSA algorithms are two variants of RSA algorithm implemented separately for data storage security, however study revealed their individual implementation takes low encryption time and subjective to attacks respectively. This research merges some features of the two algorithm to make a hybrid algorithm and the result revealed it was found to be better in encryption time and less vulnerable to attacks.

Keywords: Cryptography,RSA algorithm,Multi-prime RSA,Multi-power RSA, Hybrid algorithm, encryption time.
