Abstract - Secure Communication in remote access is
expected in server – client architecture and pear to pear
devices. In-secure transmission may lead to leak sensitive
credentials and information. Strong security policies are
required to provide proper level of security policies to
achieve confidentiality, authentication and integrity. To
maintain confidentiality, Digital Envelope, which is the
combination of the encrypted message and signature with
the encrypted symmetric key, is also used. This research
paper proposed a hybrid model to achieve confidentiality,
authentication and integrity in same manner..

Cryptography is the ability to send information between
participants in a way that prevents others from reading it.
It plays a crucial role for data protection within
applications of public networks. Several important
desktop computing applications have emerged in recent
years that use an Internet-scale decentralized architecture
to simultaneously connect millions of users to share
content, form social groups and communicate with their
contacts. These applications are classified as peer-to-peer
because of the elimination of servers to mediate between
end systems on which the applications run, and their
network behavior is described as An overlay network
because the peer protocols form a virtualized network
over the physical network.
The study of conventional system concludes that there is
big scope of improvement in security policy of highly
security expected applications.
To understand and develop a hybrid and secure security
model work consider few security algorithms which are
listed below;
Following algorithm will be used to develop hybrid
security model.
1. Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange Algorithm
2. RSA algorithm for Confidentiality
3. Private Key Encryption for Authentication
4. SHA-1 for Integrity
5. RC5 to provide confidentiality over cipher text and
message digest
2. RELATED WORK
Chauhan [1] present that hybrid cryptography is better
approach to maintain confidentiality and privacy of
information during communication. They also proposed a
hybrid algorithm for strong encryption. They state that
there are various algorithms are available for
cryptography but all of them have certain drawbacks.
Proposed algorithm is designed with combination of two
symmetric algorithm techniques known as AES and DES.
Proposed solution is implemented using 128 bit keys.
Proposed solution is implemented using java technology.
Here, they provide facility to select security algorithm as
per requirement which may be AES, DES or hybrid
algorithm. The complete work concludes that possibility
of an algebraic attack on hybrid model is too poor and
gives strong strength to encryption approach.
Shankar [2] address that RSA is one of the most common
algorithm for encryption and decryption. Subsequently,
Round-robin scheduling is one of the most common useful
algorithms for task scheduling and processing. Authors
proposed a technique to integrate RSAA algorithm with
Round robin scheduling algorithm to extend level of

security. In this approach method uses RSA algorithm to
generate cipher text based on priority. Receiver receive
message and decrypt the message according to priority.
Proposed method reduces probability of man-in-middle
attack and timing attack.
Subasree[3] explore that computer network is an group of
interconnected nodes. Various security threats attempt to
compromise the network security and modify the content
of packet. Confidentiality, authentication and integrity are
the most crucial security principle used to maintain level
of security. It requires the certain security algorithms to
maintain security and maintain communication private.
Proposed.
algorithm integrates Elliptic Curve Cryptography, Dual
RSA algorithm and Message Digest MD5. This new security
protocol has been designed for better security with
integrity using a combination of both symmetric and
asymmetric cryptographic techniques.
Tianfu [4] address that internet is one of the most unsafe
communication medium due to huge connection and
public network. Information protection is one the of
essential requirement. At present various security
algorithms are proposed to achieve security during
communication. All of them have certain good point and
certain bad point. To improve the strength of encryption
algorithm they proposed a hybrid model. Proposed model
is combination of AES and DES. Both algorithms are
symmetric key technique and itself they are very much
capable for encryption. Integration of AES and DES would
give a strong level of security at encryption end. A
significant improvement in results has been observed with
proposed solution.
3. SECURITY ISSUES
Cryptography technique helps to achieve security during
communication. The major problem with existing solution
is they can’t provide common security requirement into
single solution. Confidentiality is required to provide
privacy and isolation for information where
authentication is used to verify proof of identity. In PKI
encryption and decryption perform with different key
where private key is non-sharable entity. As per the
Asymmetric Key Cryptography if we encrypt the message
with private key, anyone can decrypt the message by using
its public key. Here, we can achieve authentication but
cannot maintain the confidentiality. Furthermore, if wee
encrypt the message by public key, only intended recipient
can decrypt the message. It helps to maintain the
confidentiality but cannot authorize sender. To overcome
the above problem we use to perform public key
encryption after private key. So, only intended receiver
would be able to decrypt the message and also authentic
the sender by decrypting the received cipher message
with public key. Subsequently, there is a procedure to
maintain authentication and confidentiality by
implementation digital envelop for communication.
RSA governs the application of cryptography to data for
digital envelopes and digital signatures. A digital envelope
uses two layers for encryption: Secret (symmetric) key
and public key encryption. Secret key encryption is used
for message encoding and decoding. Public key encryption
is used to send a secret key to a receiving party over a
network. This technique does not require plain text
communication.
Either of the following methods may be used to create a
digital envelope:
Secret key encryption algorithms such as Rijndael
or Twofish are used for message encryption. Furthermore,
Public key encryption algorithm is known as RSA is used
for secret key encryption with a receiver’s public key.
A digital envelop may be decrypted by using a
receiver's private key to decrypt a secret key, or by using a
secret key to decrypt encrypted data.
An example of a digital envelope is Pretty Good Privacy
(PGP) - popular data cryptography software that also
provides cryptographic privacy and data communication
authentication. A digital envelope is also known as a
digital wrapper. The complete study explore that, there is
no procedure to maintain integrity of message. So,
proposed algorithm will not only help to achieve
confidentiality and authentication but integrity too.
4. PROPOSED SOLUTION
A method of encryption that combines two or more
encryption schemes and includes a combination of
symmetric and asymmetric encryption to take advantage
of the strengths of each type of encryption is known as
Hybrid Encryption.
Symmetric-key algorithms are a class of
algorithms for cryptography that use the same
cryptographic keys for both encryption of plaintext and
decryption of cipher text. The keys may be identical or

there may be a simple transformation to go between the
two keys.
Asymmetric cryptography or public-key cryptography is
cryptography in which a pair of keys is used to encrypt
and decrypt a message so that it arrives securely. Initially,
a network user receives a public and private key pair from
a certificate authority. Any other user who wants to send
an encrypted message can get the intended recipient's
public key from a public directory. They use this key to
encrypt the message, and they send it to the recipient.
When the recipient gets the message, they decrypt it with
their private key, which no one else should have access to.
In cases where the same algorithm is used to
encrypt and decrypt, such as in RSA, a message can be
securely signed by a specific sender: if the sender encrypts
the message using their private key, then the message can
be decrypted only using that sender's public key,
authenticating the sender.
The proposed solutions will not only give a way to
establish secure communication but it will also help to
improve level of encryption by reducing security
overhead. System does not require any external system
interface for development. Graphical user interface (GUI)
will be used to interact with user. User will supply input
through text box and file form from the user view and
forward to show output at receiver end. A Bluetooth
connection or wired network is required between sender
and receiver computer for communication. Socket
programming will be used to establish communication
between sender and receiver.
5. HYBRID MODEL
There is no special memory requirement of proposed
solution. A basic memory requirement of java application
is recommended. Encryption and Decryption will be the
leading operations of proposed solution. Subsequently,
calculation of SHA-1[MAC] and SHA-1[MAC] verification
process is also
important to establish strong integrity and authentication
approach. A basic architecture of proposed system is
shown in below Figure 5.1 Encryption & 5.2 Decryption.
Figure 5.1 Proposed Encryption Algorithm’s Architecture

Figure 5.2 Proposed Decryption Algorithm’s Architecture
This research work proposes an efficient technique to
encrypt and decrypt plain text to keep information safe
and secure from unwanted user interaction. It combines
symmetric and asymmetric key cryptography
algorithm to increase the strength of encryption process.
Furthermore, encryption with private key in RSA will help
to achieve authentication about sender. Subsequently,
SHA-1 algorithm has been used to maintain integrity of
content. Following security algorithms are used to achieve
safe and secure communication.
6. CONCLUSION
The complete work concludes that proposed solution will
give an alternative security model than SSL and digital
envelop to maintain security in intranet. SSL require
HTTPs protocol, where proposed solution does not
require any kind of protocol
involvement in applications. Furthermore, the basic
application of proposed solution is integration of security
policy with local network based applications. It may
helpful in such applications where privacy, authentication
and integrity, all are primary demands.
