Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Shuffle Image-Encryption AlgorithmA. A. Yahya, A. M. AbdallaProblem statement: Image encryption needs to be secure by resisting statistical attacks and other types of attacks. Approach: The new algorithm, call it the Shuffle Encryption Algorithm (SEA), applies nonlinear s-box byte substitution. Then, it performed a shuffling operation partially dependent on the input data and uses the given key. Results: SEA was implemented and tested with different data, mainly … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 12 · 31 Jul 2009 · 8,359 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsImage Steganography by Mapping Pixels to LettersMohammed A.F. Al-HusainyProblem statement: Steganography hides the very existence of a message so that if successful it generally attracts no suspicion at all. Using steganography, information can be hidden in carriers such as images, audio files, text files, videos and data transmissions. In this study, we proposed a new framework of an image steganography system to hide a digital text of a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 8,328 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA New Digital Signature Scheme Based on Factoring and Discrete LogarithmsE.S. Ismail, N.M.F. Tahat, R.R. AhmadProblem statement: A digital signature scheme allows one to sign an electronic message and later the produced signature can be validated by the owner of the message or by any verifier. Most of the existing digital signature schemes were developed based on a single hard problem like factoring, discrete logarithm, residuosity or elliptic curve discrete logarithm problems. Although these schemes … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,264 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA New Computation Algorithm for a Cryptosystem Based on Lucas FunctionsMohamed Othman, Esam M. Abulhirat, Zulkarnain Md Ali et al.Most of public-key cryptosystems rely on one-way functions. The cryptosystems can be used to encrypt and sign messages. The LUC Cryptosystem is a cryptosystem based on Lucas Functions. The encryption process used a public key which was known publicly and the decryption used a private key which was known only by sender and receiver of the messages. The performance of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,941 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDSP-128:Stream Cipher Based On Discrete Log Problem And Polynomial ArithmeticKhaled M. Suwais, Azman SamsudinDSP-128 is a new multithreaded stream cipher based on the intractability of the Discrete Logarithm Problem (DLP) with key size of 128-bit. The design of DSP-128 is divided into three stages: Initialization Stage, Keystream Generation Stage, and Encryption Stage. The design goal of DSP-128 is to come up with a secure stream cipher with good performance for data encryption.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA New Partially Blind Signature Based on Factoring and Discrete LogarithmsN.M.F. Tahat, S.M.A. Shatnawi, E.S. IsmailPartially blind signatures played an important role in many electronic commerce applications. Many existing partially blind signature scheme based on a single hard problem but not secure. In this study, we propose a secure partially blind signature scheme based on factoring and discrete logarithms and show that the proposed scheme satisfies the partial blindness, randomization, unlinkability and unforgeability properties.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsFractal (Mandelbrot and Julia) Zero-Knowledge Proof of IdentityMohammad Ahmad Alia, Azman Bin SamsudinWe proposed a new zero-knowledge proof of identity protocol based on Mandelbrot and Julia Fractal sets. The Fractal based zero-knowledge protocol was possible because of the intrinsic connection between the Mandelbrot and Julia Fractal sets. In the proposed protocol, the private key was used as an input parameter for Mandelbrot Fractal function to generate the corresponding public key. Julia Fractal … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 May 2008 · 6,965 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA New Digital Signature Scheme Based on Mandelbrot and Julia Fractal SetsMohammad Ahmad Alia, Azman Bin SamsudinThis paper describes a new cryptographic digital signature scheme based on Mandelbrot and Julia fractal sets. Having fractal based digital signature scheme is possible due to the strong connection between the Mandelbrot and Julia fractal sets. The link between the two fractal sets used for the conversion of the private key to the public key. Mandelbrot fractal function takes the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2007 · 6,964 accessesView PDFCite
