Alpana Chaphalkar completed a project from September 2012 to March 2013 for her Master's in Applied Computer Science where she implemented a new hybrid encryption technique. The technique used the symmetric encryption algorithm PASE and the asymmetric encryption algorithm RSA. It also used SHA256 for authentication. The technique was implemented for both text and image encryption and provided the advantages of symmetric and asymmetric encryption for secure and efficient key management and data confidentiality and authentication.
