A hybrid encryption algorithm based on RSA and Diffie-Hellman

Abstract

Internet and Network applications have seen a tremendous growth in the last decade. As a result incidents of cyber attacks and compromised security are increasing. This requires more focus on strengthening and securing our communication. One way to achieve this is cryptography. Although a lot of work has been done in this area but this problem still has scope of improvement. In this paper we have focused on asymmetric cryptography and proposed a novel method by combining the two most popular algorithms RSA and Diffie-Hellman in order to achieve more security.
