ERSA Enhanced RSA

Abstract

Multiple business and economic sectors will have a major concern about ensuring that their data is secure and remains confidential. Cryptographic and data privacy methods provide the primary solution to the data vulnerability problem. Researchers have developed numerous cryptographic techniques to address the issues of data insecurity and vulnerability. Over the years, researchers have developed algorithms to maximize message privacy. The algorithms developed are both symmetric and asymmetric. The proposed work, Enhanced RSA, draws its foundation from asymmetric algorithms like the RSA (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman) cryptographic algorithm. The proposed work offers a secure data encryption and decryption method, incorporating the enhanced RSA concept. This idea combines existing cryptographic algorithms, such as SHA-256 (Simple Hashing Algorithm for 256 bits) and PKCS#7 (Public Key Cryptography Standard 7), to help people understand how and why cryptography works and make it safer.
