Symmetric encryption algorithm using graph representation
Safaa Hriez, Wael Etaiwi · 2017
Huge amount of data are generated and transmitted over the world each second. Transmitting the data over the network and using the data in the applications create a need to protect this data from unauthorized entities, especially if this data are sensitive or confidential. Many techniques were used to protect the data such as Encryption. Encryption is a very popular technique was used to protect data by converting it from a readable form to unreadable form. Encryption methods are divided into two main categories Symmetric and Asymmetric. This paper produces a new symmetric encryption algorithm using graph representation. The proposed algorithm encrypts text by converting it to a graph represented by adjacency matrix.
