This document describes a password-based encryption standard (PKCS #5) that defines two key derivation algorithms combining message digest algorithms (MD2 and MD5) with DES encryption. The standard defines processes for encrypting and decrypting messages using a password, salt value, and iteration count to derive the encryption key. The encryption process formats the message and padding into a block, derives the key from the password/salt/count, and encrypts the block with DES-CBC. The decryption process reverses these steps to recover the original message.
In cryptography, encryption is the process of encoding a message or information in such a way that only authorized parties can access it and those who are not authorized cannot. Encryption does not itself prevent interference, but denies the intelligible content to a would-be interceptor.

ENHANCED SECURE ALGORITHM FOR MESSAGE COMMUNICATIONIJNSA Journal
This paper puts forward a safe mechanism of data transmission to tackle the security problem of information which is transmitted in Internet. The encryption standards such as DES (Data Encryption Standard), AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) and EES (Escrowed Encryption Standard) are widely used to solve the problem of communication over an insecure channel. With advanced technologies in computer hardware and software, these standards seem not to be as secure and fast as one would like. In
this paper we propose a encryption technique which provides security to both the message and the secret key achieving confidentiality and authentication. The Symmetric algorithm used has two advantages over traditional schemes. First, the encryption and decryption procedures are much simpler, and consequently, much faster. Second, the security level is higher due to the inherent poly-alphabetic nature of the substitution mapping method used here, together with the translation and transposition operations performed in the algorithm. Asymmetric algorithm RSA is worldwide known for its high security. In this paper a detailed report of the process is presented and analysis is done comparing our proposed technique with familiar techniques
Survey of Hybrid Encryption Algorithm for Mobile Communicationijsrd.com
To enhance the security of data transmission in Mobile communication, a hybrid encryption algorithm based on DES and RSA is proposed. The currently used encryption algorithm employed to protect the confidentiality of data during transport between two or more devices is a 128-bit symmetric block cipher. In the proposed hybrid encryption algorithm, DES algorithm is used for data transmission because of its higher efficiency in block encryption, encryption speed of DES algorithm is faster than RSA algorithm for long plaintext, and RSA algorithm distribute key safely and easily also RSA algorithm is used for the encryption of the key of the DES because of its management advantages in key cipher. Under the dual protection with the DES algorithm and the RSA algorithm, the data transmission in mobile communication system will be more secure. Meanwhile, it is clear that the procedure of the entire encryption is still simple and efficient. Digital abstract algorithm MD5 is adopted in this mechanism. Through comparing the digital signature which is transmitted by dispatcher and digital signature result of plaintext which is got by receiver through MD5 algorithm, data security can be guaranteed. This mechanism realizes the confidentiality, completeness, authentication and non- repudiation.

Exchange of information between computer networks requires a secure communications channel to prevent and monitor unauthorized access, modification and denial of the computer network. To address this growing problem, security experts sought ways to advance the integrity of data transmission. Security Attacks compromises the security and hence hybrid cryptographic algorithms have been proposed to achieve safe service in the proper manner, such as user authentication and data confidentiality. Data security and authenticity are achieved using these algorithms. Moreover, to improve the strength and cover each algorithm’s weaknesses, a new security algorithm can be designed using the combination of different cryptographic techniques. This design uses Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) for authentic key generation, Data Encryption Standard (DES) for key scheduling, and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and Rivest–Schamir– Adleman Algorithm (RSA) in encrypting data. This new security algorithm has been proposed for improved security and integrity by integration of these cryptographic techniques.

Bluetooth technology is an emerging wireless networking standard, which is based on chip that provides short-range wireless frequency hopping communication. Now, Bluetooth technology is mainly applied to the communication between mobile terminal devices, such as palm computers, mobile phones, laptops and so on. However, the phenomenon of data-leaking frequently arises in using the Bluetooth technology for data transfer. To enhance the security of data transmission in Bluetooth communication, a hybrid encryption algorithm based on DES and RSA is proposed. The currently used encryption algorithm employed by the Bluetooth to protect the confidentiality of data during transport between two or more devices is a 128-bit symmetric stream cipher called E0. The proposed hybrid encryption algorithm, instead of the E0 encryption, DES algorithm is used for data transmission because of its higher efficiency in block encryption, and RSA algorithm is used for the encryption of the key of the DES because of its management advantages in key cipher. Under the dual protection with the DES algorithm and the RSA algorithm, the data transmission in the Bluetooth system will be more secure. This project is extended with triple des in place of des to enhance more security.

Multiple Encryption using ECC and Its Time Complexity AnalysisIJCERT
Rapid growth of information technology in present era, secure communication, strong data encryption technique and trusted third party are considered to be major topics of study. Robust encryption algorithm development to secure sensitive data is of great significance among researchers at present. The conventional methods of encryption used as of today may not sufficient and therefore new ideas for the purpose are to be design, analyze and need to be fit into the existing system of security to provide protection of our data from unauthorized access. An effective encryption/ decryption algorithm design to enhance data security is a challenging task while computation, complexity, robustness etc. are concerned. The multiple encryption technique is a process of applying encryption over a single encryption process in a number of iteration. Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) is well known and well accepted cryptographic algorithm and used in many application as of today. In this paper, we discuss multiple encryptions and analyze the computation overhead in the process and study the feasibility of practical application. In the process we use ECC as a multiple-ECC algorithm and try to analyze degree of security, encryption/decryption computation time and complexity of the algorithm. Performance measure of the algorithm is evaluated by analyzing encryption time as well as decryption time in single ECC as well as multiple-ECC are compared with the help of various examples.

NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS OF HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER IN CONDENSING HEAT EXCHANGERS...ssuser7dcef0
Power plants release a large amount of water vapor into the
atmosphere through the stack. The flue gas can be a potential
source for obtaining much needed cooling water for a power
plant. If a power plant could recover and reuse a portion of this
moisture, it could reduce its total cooling water intake
requirement. One of the most practical way to recover water
from flue gas is to use a condensing heat exchanger. The power
plant could also recover latent heat due to condensation as well
as sensible heat due to lowering the flue gas exit temperature.
Additionally, harmful acids released from the stack can be
reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation. reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation.
Condensation of vapors in flue gas is a complicated
phenomenon since heat and mass transfer of water vapor and
various acids simultaneously occur in the presence of noncondensable
gases such as nitrogen and oxygen. Design of a
condenser depends on the knowledge and understanding of the
heat and mass transfer processes. A computer program for
numerical simulations of water (H2O) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4)
condensation in a flue gas condensing heat exchanger was
developed using MATLAB. Governing equations based on
mass and energy balances for the system were derived to
predict variables such as flue gas exit temperature, cooling
water outlet temperature, mole fraction and condensation rates
of water and sulfuric acid vapors. The equations were solved
using an iterative solution technique with calculations of heat
and mass transfer coefficients and physical properties.
Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

5. General overview
The next three sections specify the encryption process, the decryption process, and object
identifiers.
Each entity shall privately select an octet string P as its "password." The password is an
arbitrary octet string, and it need not be a printable "word" in the usual sense. The octet
string may contain zero or more octets.
Each entity shall also select an eight-octet string S as its salt value and a positive integer c
as its iteration count. The salt value S and the iteration count c are parameters of the
algorithm identifier for the password-based encryption algorithm.
An entity's password, salt value, and iteration count may be different for each message the
entity encrypts.
Two password-based encryption algorithms are defined here. The first algorithm
(informally, "MD2 with DES-CBC") combines the MD2 message-digest algorithm with
DES in cipher-block chaining mode, and the second (informally, "MD5 with DES-CBC")
combines the MD5 message-digest algorithm with DES in cipher-block chaining mode.
The "selected" message-digest algorithm shall either be MD2 or MD5, depending on the
password-based encryption algorithm.
The encryption and decryption processes shall both be performed with the password, salt
value, and iteration count as a key for the password-based encryption algorithm. Both
processes transform an octet string to another octet string. The processes are inverses of
one another if they use the same key.
Notes.
1. Some security conditions on the choice of password may well be taken into
account in order to deter standard attacks such as dictionary attacks. These
security conditions fall outside the scope of this standard.
2. How passwords are entered by an entity (a user) is outside the scope of
4. Page 4 PKCS #5: Password-Based Encryption Standard§
this standard. However, it is recommended in the interest of interoperability
that when messages encrypted according to this standard are to be
transferred from one computer system to another, the password should
consist of printable ASCII characters (values 32 to 126 decimal inclusive).
This recommendation may require that password-entry software support
optional conversion from a local character set to ASCII.
3. The iteration count provides a method of varying the time to derive a DES
key from the password, thereby making dictionary attacks more expensive.
4. The selection of a salt value independent from the password limits the
efficiency of dictionary attacks directed collectively against many messages
encrypted according to this standard, e.g., against a database of encrypted
private keys. This concept is explained in Morris and Thompson's paper on
passwords [MT79].
5. A convenient way to select the salt value S is to set it to the first eight
octets of the message digest of the octet string P || M. This method works
best when the message M is somewhat random (e.g., a private key), for
then the salt value S reveals no significant information about M or P. This
method is not recommended, however, if the message M is known to
belong to a small message space (e.g., "Yes" or "No").
6. The iteration count and the method of selecting a salt value may be
standardized in particular applications.
6. Encryption process
This section describes the password-based encryption process.
The encryption process consists of three steps: DES key generation, encryption-block
formatting, and DES encryption. The input to the encryption process shall be an octet
string M, the message; an octet string P, the password; an octet string S, the salt value;
and an integer c, the iteration count. The output from the encryption process shall be an
octet string C, the ciphertext.
Note. The encryption process does not provide an explicit integrity check to facilitate
error detection should the encrypted data be corrupted in transmission. However, the
structure of the encryption block guarantees that the probability that corruption is
undetected is less than 2-8.
6.1 DES key generation
A DES key K and an initializing vector IV shall be generated from the password P, the salt
value S, and the iteration count c. The key generation process shall involve the following
steps:
1. The octet string P || S shall be digested with c iterations of the selected
message-digest algorithm. "One iteration" of the message-digest algorithm
is just the ordinary message digest; "two iterations" is the message digest
5. 5. General overview§ Page 5
of the message digest; and so on.
2. The least significant bit of each of the first eight octets of the result of step
1 shall be changed if necessary to give the octet odd parity, as required by
DES. The resulting eight octets shall become the DES key K.
3. The last eight octets of the result of step 1 shall become the initializing
vector IV.
6.2 Encryption-block formatting
The message M and a padding string PS shall be formatted into an octet string EB, the
encryption block.
EB = M || PS . (1)
The padding string PS shall consist of 8 - (||M|| mod 8) octets all having value 8 - (||M||
mod 8). (This makes the length of the encryption block EB a multiple of eight octets.) In
other words, the encryption block EB satisfies one of the following statements:
EB = M || 01 — if ||M|| mod 8 = 7 ;
EB = M || 02 02 — if ||M|| mod 8 = 6 ;
×
×
×
EB = M || 08 08 08 08 08 08 08 08 — if ||M|| mod 8 = 0 .
Note. The encryption block can be parsed unambiguously since every encryption block
ends with a padding string and no padding string is a suffix of another.
6.3 DES encryption
The encryption block EB shall be encrypted under DES in cipher-block chaining mode
with key K and initializing vector IV. The result of encryption shall be an octet string C,
the ciphertext.
Note. The length of the ciphertext C is a multiple of eight octets.
7. Decryption process
This section describes the password-based decryption process.
The decryption process consists of three steps: DES key generation, DES decryption, and
encryption-block parsing. The input to the decryption process shall be an octet string C,
the ciphertext; an octet string P, the password; an octet string S, the salt value; and an
integer c, the iteration count. The output from the decryption process shall an octet string
M, the message.
For brevity, the decryption process is described in terms of the encryption process.
6. Page 6 PKCS #5: Password-Based Encryption Standard§
7.1 DES key generation
A DES key K and an initializing vector IV shall be generated from the password P, the salt
value S, and the iteration count c as described for the encryption process.
7.2 DES decryption
The ciphertext C shall be decrypted under DES in cipher-block chaining mode with key K
and initializing vector IV. The result of decryption shall be an octet string EB, the
encryption block.
It is an error if the length of the ciphertext C is not a multiple of eight octets.
7.3 Encryption-block parsing
The encryption block EB shall be parsed into an octet string M, the message, and an octet
string PS, the padding string, according to Equation (1).
It is an error if the encryption block cannot be parsed according to Equation (1), i.e., if the
encryption block does not end with k octets all having value k for some k between 1 and 8.
8. Object identifiers
This standard defines three object identifiers: pkcs-5, pbeWithMD2AndDES-CBC, and
pbeWithMD5AndDES-CBC.
The object identifier pkcs-5 identifies this standard.
pkcs-5 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::=
{ iso(1) member-body(2) US(840) rsadsi(113549)
pkcs(1) 5 }
The object identifiers pbeWithMD2AndDES-CBC and pbeWithMD5AndDES-CBC
identify, respectively, the "MD2 with DES-CBC" and "MD5 with DES-CBC" password-
based encryption and decryption processes defined in Sections 6 and 7.
pbeWithMD2AndDES-CBC OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { pkcs-5 1 }
pbeWithMD5AndDES-CBC OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { pkcs-5 3 }
These object identifiers are intended to be used in the algorithm field of a value of type
AlgorithmIdentifier. The parameters field of that type, which has the algorithm-specific
syntax ANY DEFINED BY algorithm, would have ASN.1 type PBEParameter for these
algorithms.
PBEParameter ::= SEQUENCE {
salt OCTET STRING SIZE(8),
iterationCount INTEGER }
7. 5. General overview§ Page 7
The fields of type PBEParameter have the following meanings:
• salt is the salt value S.
• iterationCount is the iteration count c.
