Abstract
This paper proposes a novel scheme where the key k is generated as discrete logarithm of indices involving prime modulus p and any base value q. This base value q is an element of Z p . The Discrete logarithm values are substituted for k in the encryption equation. During decryption the corresponding k’s are used to recover the plaintext. The sender embeds the p, q values along with the encrypted message and transmits it. This obviates the need for sending the full-length key along with the encrypted message. The proposed method ensures higher security in the transmission. The strength of the method lies in the difficulty of guessing p, q values, the entire key need not be transmitted and the full set of ASCII values of the Z 256 plane figure in the encryption process. The paper also discusses the difficulty of attempting brute force technique to discover p, q values. As an extension of this work, the authors are exploring the possibility of using the full set of UNICODE values instead of the restricted 8-bit ASCII set.
