Reliability and Performance Assessment of Multifarious Hybrid Cryptosystems
Authors: , , , ,
Abstract: Performance efficiency of symmetric and reliable key exchange of a-symmetric cryptosystems are being trendier towards the use of hybrid cryptosystems. Still, the question of an ideal and optimal selection of hybrid cryptosystem requires further analysis. Earlier studies have just evaluated the performance of few hybrid cryptosystems with smaller input dataset, without having the analysis of hybrid crypto-models in terms of two-way origin authenticity, false modification, feasibility, memory, power, forgery and password guessing attacks. In this article, firstly, we have reviewed several existing hybrid crypto-models through which symmetric and asymmetric algorithms can be modeled as an ideal hybrid cryptosystem. Secondly, we have practically applied the selected hybrid crypto-model to combine different symmetric and asymmetric algorithms in order to assure not only the accuracy but also the confidentiality, false modification and origin authentication of both parties. Finally, we have evaluated the performance of several hybrid cryptosystems (IDEA-RSA, AES-ECC, TDES-RSA, AES-RSA and RC2-RSA) through practical experimentations (encryption, decryption, certificate generation and verification) in order to analyze which hybrid cryptosystem is feasible for encrypting large input dataset with low electric-power. Results show that, joint AES-RSA scheme is significantly outperformed in data encryption and takes less electric power to guarantee optimal privacy goals.
