Performance Analysis of Hybrid Cryptographic Algorithms Rabbit Stream and Enhanced Dual RSA

Abstract

Cryptography is a technique for encoding data by encrypting plaintext into an unreadable (meaningless) form. Cryptographic methods have good and bad performance depending on the type of algorithm we use. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to measure speed by combining the two algorithms used. The Rabbit Stream algorithm is a stream cipher algorithm whose system security depends on the generation of a key bit stream (keystream), which only guarantees 128-bit key security but has the advantage of being fast in the encryption and decryption process, while the Enhanced Dual RSA algorithm is an asymmetric algorithm to increase data protection from the Dual RSA algorithm by utilizing the Pells equation as a substitute for public key exponents. On the other hand, the algorithm in question requires a significant amount of time to encrypt messages with a large capacity when compared to the Rabbit Stream algorithm. Nonetheless, the study's findings suggest that using a hybrid method is comparatively faster for processing substantial amounts of data.
