ABSTRACT
Cryptography is a process used for sending information in secret way. Goal of
this process is to provide protection for information but in different way. In
this paper our motive to represent a new method for protection that is
generated by combination of RSA and 2 bit rotation mechanism of
cryptography. There are many algorithms exist for this process. For
cryptography there are algorithms like RSA, IDEA, AES, and DES but here we
are using only one algorithm from these that is RSA which is enough to
implement combined process using 2 bit rotation.
The encrypted image is used as input for network for further
implementation.RSA encrypt image with 1 bit rotation. In 1 bit rotationonly1
bit is shifted and at decrypt side shifted bit are reversed. But to make it more
secure we are going to perform 2 bit rotation due to which it is more secureas
compared to existing algorithm. After applying the 2 bit rotation we perform
the permutation of that image that will give us encrypted image.

I. INTRODUCTION
The Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) was publically described
in 1977, which is used by modern computers to encrypt and
decrypt the messages. It is an asymmetric cryptographic
algorithm. As two different keys are used in this algorithm
hence the name asymmetric. One key is shared to anyone
therefore it is also called public keycryptography. Public key
cryptography is largely used for authentication, non-
repudiation, and key exchange. Cryptography is a technique
or method for securing communications by using codes, so
that the third parties cannot use that sensitive information
and only intended users can read and process it.
National Bureau of Standards (NBS) algorithm. Most
importantly, RSA implements a public-key cryptosystem, as
well as digital signatures. RSA is motivated by the published
works of Diffie and Hellman from several years before.
Modern cryptography algorithms offer more security than
the ancient ones and can be divided into 3 categories,namely
secret key, public key and hash functions. The focus of this
paper is public key cryptography (PKC) algorithm.
II. LITERATURE REVIEW
This chapter is going to present some of the past work done
in the field of public key cryptography with respect to RSA
algorithm. This one includes the modifications done in the
original methods along with about the attacks tried over it.
Hung-Min Sun et al. have proposed a modified approach
based on the same same format of public key cryptography.
The authors have used the same format followed in the
original version. Process of providing authentication was
achieved here through blind signatures. Security issue was
addressed in this work by increasing complexity in the
process but it reflects in the larger execution time. Ravi
Shankar Dhakar et al. made some modifications in the
original steps. These corrections have begun from the very
first step in the original process by having four different
prime numbers in the place of only two. By this wayboththe
public and private key had more components than the
original. This approach straight awayaddressedtheissue off
actoring attacks but again failed to provide quicker
execution time. Zulkarnain Md Ali et al. have taken both RSA
algorithm and Elgamal crypto systems togethertoproposea
new procedure as an alternative to RSA algorithm. This
approach has increased the complexity over the process of
providing security especially to counter factoring attacks.
Instead of integer factorization discrete logarithm problem
was chosen to counter the above said attacks. So this
approach stands out as an alternate to theoriginal algorithm
to have a wider acceptance. Aayush Chhabra et al. proposed
another modified version of RSA algorithmwhichhasgained
some attention among the researchers. The procedure was
modified in the key generation part. Thus this approach too
tried to address the factoring attacks. Since some
modifications brought the security enhancement from the
original, this work also stands asthemodifiedRSAalgorithm
but the novelty on addressing other issues was not
considered in this approach. In order to speed up the
decryption process,thisproposedapproachtriedtocombine
both of these approaches. This work also tried to show that
the proposed one was less vulnerable to various attacks on
RSA. The results showed that the time taken for decryption
process was lesser than the approach which used Chinese
Reminder Theorem which one was traditional one. This

proposed approach brought the significant advantage from
the former approach.
III. CURRENT USAGE OF RSA
Looking at where RSA is being used today, let’s take the
example of Pretty Good Privacy in short PGP, a freeware
created by Phil Zimmerman, providing encryption and
authentication for e-mail and file storageapplicationsacross
multiple platforms and it uses RSA algorithm for its key
transportation [14], [15]. Many cloud service providers also
use PKC for authentication. One exampleisGooglesGSuite,a
brand of cloud based services that has been rated as
excellent on PGMags review in February 2017, has about 3
million paid customers including large companies such as
Whirlpool and Pice Water house Coopers taking advantage
of a collaboration ready office suite, a website, shared
calendars, mail services, chat, video conferences, social
media, real-time document collaborations, and many more.
Firstly, data access is enabled through Hypertext Transfer
Protocol Secure (HTTPS) encrypted tunnels, then it uses
Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS), for which Google made
headlines in 2011 for being the first to enable this feature
[18], which scrambles data as it moves between their and
other companies servers and it uses SSL (Secure Sockets
Layer)/TLS (Transport Layer Security) for connectivity
where the 256-bit TLS looks at the encryption enforcement
policy which rejects all inbound and outbound mail from
other mail servers if they don’t use TLS [19]. A common
operation in IT is RSA signature verification and many
protocols such as SSH, Open PGP, S/MIME and SSL/TLS rely
on it [20]. SSL certificates are used to protect the online
users’ private and sensitive data. In its bids to up defenses
against the growth in cryptanalysis,Googlehasupgraded the
length of all its SSL certificates RSA encryption keys from
1024 to 2048 bits for validation and key exchange in 2013.
IV. DESIGN ARCHITECTURE
The encryption is starting on the RSA algorithm with the
selection of two large prime numbers, along with an
auxiliary value, as the public key. The prime numbers are
keep in secret. The public key is used to encrypt a message,
and private key is used to decrypt a message or information.
The RSA algorithm is encrypt the original image and
decrypts the image by the different keys.
V. WORKING OF RSA
The RSA involves four steps for the complete process which
are key generation, key distribution, encryption, and
decryption. All steps are mentioned below.
RSA is an algorithm is using in the modern computer
environment to encrypt and decrypt the data in transform.
The RSA algorithm is also called as an asymmetric
cryptographic algorithm. Asymmetric cryptosystem means
two different keys are using in the encryption and
decryption. In the two keys one key is using for encryption
and the second key is using for decryption. This RSA
algorithm is also called as the public key cryptography.
Because one of the secret key can be given to everyone
which means public. The other key must be kept private.
The RSA algorithm consists of three manor steps in
encryption and decryption. The steps are following as :-
5.1 Key Generation:-Each person or a party who desires to
participate in communication using encryption needs to
generate a pair of keys, namely public key and private key.
1. Generating the RSA modulus (n)
2. Finding Derived Number (e)
3. Forming the public key
4. Forming the private key
5.2 Key Distribution: If a message is sent from one end to
the other using RSA, one person will have the public key
which is used for encryption(n, e)andotherpersonwill have
the private key which will be used for decryption (d) and
won’t be distributed.
5.3 Encryption: Message is encrypted using a public key (n,
e). To encrypt the first plaintext P, this is modulo
n.Mathematical step for encryption is –
C = Pe mod n
Ciphertext C is equal to the plaintext P multiplied by itself e
times and then reduced modulo n.
5.4 Decryption: Message is decrypted using private key by
the receiver. The receiver has received a ciphertext.
Plaintext = Cd mod n
APPLICATIONS OF IMAGE CRYPTOGRAPHY
Core banking is a set of services providing by the group of
networked bank branches. Bank customersmayaccesstheir
funds and perform the simple transactionsfromthemember
branch offices. The major issue in core banking is the
authenticity of the customer. An unavoidable hacking of the
databases on the Internet, it is always quite difficult to trust
the information in Internet. To solve this problem of
authentication proposing an algorithm based on image
processing and image cryptography.
The internet multimedia applicationsisbecomepopular.The
valuable multimedia content such as the image isvulnerable
to unauthorized access while in storage and during
transmission over a network.
The image processing applications have been commonly
found in the Military communication, Forensics, Robotics,
Intelligent systems etc.

VII. CONCLUSION
Though, RSA is most used algorithm these days, still it has
some limitations which are getting replaced by further
versions of RSA. In today’s digital world the most important
thing is to encrypt the image due to various types of attacks
and misusing of the same. Image encryption using RSA is
proved to be efficient enough and highly securable. Even
though RSA is the most used cryptography algorithm today,
it has certain limitations which need to be taken into
consideration for RSA to continue to be the best and
research has to be done into making RSA quantum resistant.
There is a need now more than ever for studies to be
conducted in the area of quantum encryption methods
resistant to quantum computers as it will soon replace the
current encryption systems. Development of qCrypt isn’t
enough, but it’s a start. However, we need more research
into quantum resistant encryption systems. Development of
qCrypt isn’t enough, but it’s a start. However, we need more
research into quantum resistant encryption systems.
VIII. RECOMMENDATIONS
While the strength of RSA lies in the large prime number
based keys, it’s also causing RSA to be slower compared to
other algorithms in terms of key generation. One example is
the JSCAPE MFT Server, a platform independent server that
consolidates all file transfer processes into a single easy to
use application which requires users to choose between two
supportedkey algorithms:RSA or digitalsignaturealgorithm
(DSA) during the process of generating a public-private
keypair in PGP [33]. Generally encryption happens at client
end while decryption on the server side. Let’s say that in the
JSCAPE server the client side machine is slower and server
more powerful then RSA is used for server keys as it has
smaller computational requirements for encryption,thereby
encrypting faster, however, if server is slower than DSA is
used as there is a need for server keys that have smaller
computational requirements for decryption, thus impacting
the start of the session only. Even though he wasn’t able to
have a functional quantum computer of the necessary size to
crack RSA encryption yet, Chuangs experimentpointsoutthe
threat that such a computer poses to cryptographic systems
[9]. In line with this comes the news of the Ireland’s top
young scientist and technologist of 2017, Shane Curran, a 16
year old student at Terenure College, who anticipated the
impact quantum computing will have on current
cryptographic methods and created qCrypt, a quantum-
encrypted data storage solution is resistant to attacks by
quantum computers
