Abstract: Internet in todays world has become one of the most prominent ways to communicate through text, voice, pictures, video and many
more ways. Millions of MB of data is exchanged over internet in a single day all over the world. And lots of those data is sensitive and private.
Thus internet provides as point to intrude in someones private life or intercept some sensitive data. With the increasing use of Smartphone, a big
amount of data is being stored and exchange through the application running on its operating system.
This have only increased the data exchange over the network. Thats why the importance of security over the exchange as well as storage of data
has increased dramatically over the past few years. For providing security many different methods or ways are taken. Over those methods use of
cryptography is one of the widely used methods.
Our application is designed to provide secure transmission of data like text or image over the network with the help of cryptographic algorithm.
This application can be easily run on the android operating Smartphone as well as the computer with other operating system. Through this
application the user can also encrypt the file or image and store it in the system memory as well as over the cloud and retrieve it whenever
needed.

in RSA Algorithm, the length of keys used for both public
and private keys are usually kept greater than 1024 bits.

CRYPTOGRAPHY
Consider two exponents, e and d where e is public and d is
private
and p being plaintext and c being ciphertext. Let us
Cryptography is the study of information hiding and
consider
the case where Alice has to send some message to
verification. The term cryptography is derived from the
Bob
by
RSA
algorithm, Alice uses public key to convert its
Greek words Kryptos which means hidden and
plaintext
to
ciphertext
i.e. c=p mod n. Likewise Bob uses
graphein which means to write or can be said the art of
his
private
key
to
invert
back the ciphertext to plaintext i.e.
hidden writing. The use of cryptography can date back to
p=c
mod
n.
Let
the
selected
prime numbers p, q be very
thousands of years of history. Communication between
kings was done by different cryptographic methods.
Cryptography emphases have evolved from linguistic to
other, with extensive use of technical areas of mathematics,
especially those areas collectively known as discrete
mathematics.
When information is transformed from useful form of
understanding to non-useful (opaque) way of understanding,
it is called encryption and inverting this data back to useful
message is called decryption. The person who has the
knowledge of certain secret piece can only decrypt the
message. This ensures the authorized use of message. The
secret piece/knowledge is called key. Hence we can say
cryptographic methods are used for secured communication.

RSA ALGORITHM

RSA is one of the first practicable public key

cryptosystems and is widely used for secure data
transmission. RSA stands for RON RIVEST, ADI SHAMIR
and LEONARD ADLEMAN who first publicly described
the algorithm in 1977. The complexity of large integer
operation is the main factor that affects the efficiency of
RSA system. RSA algorithm can be used for data encryption
of digital signature, this advantages make it most widely
used public-key algorithm. In order to guarantee the security

large primes where pq, n=pq, (n)=(p-1)(q-1) where e

must be 1<e< n , d=e mod(n) as shown in fig 4.

Fig 4. Encryption Using RSA algorithm

RSA uses two algebraic structures in the various phase of
algorithm.
The first structure used is encryption/decryption ring. By
using commutative ring R= <, +,> with two arithmetic
operation for encryption and decryption. RSA make this ring
public because the modulus n is public. Anyone can send
data to another person if he knows the ring of the receiver.
The second structure is used during the key generation
phase. The second structure is group G=<Z, supports only
multiplication and division (inverse multiplication) which

are needed for generation of public and private key. In RSA,

the API, such as cloud desktop storage, a cloud storage

gateway or web- based content management systems.
Our application stores the customer information in the cloud
storage along with the data exchange by the different user.
All the data stored in cloud is in encrypted form to provide
the privacy to user and also to provide security against data
theft.

the group is hidden from public because its modulus, (n),

is hidden from public.
There are various attacks which can be performed on RSA,
namely factorization, chosen ciphertext, encryption
exponent, decryption exponent, plaintext, modulus and
implementation. Although none of them are devastating on
RSA.
The security of RSA algorithm depends on the fact that for a
very large number n, we have no efficient method to divide
it until now. So the private key e cannot be calculated out
from n and d. Similarly, d also cannot be calculated from n
and e. The attack difficulty equivalence to the division of the
product of two large prime numbers, therefore the RSA
algorithm has high security.

ANDROID
Android is a mobile operating system (OS) based on
the Linux kernel and currently developed by Google. With
a user interface based on direct manipulation, Android is
designed primarily for touch screen mobile devices such
as Smartphone and tablet computers, with specialized user
interfaces. The OS uses touch inputs that loosely correspond
to real-world actions, like swiping, tapping, pinching, and
reverse pinching to manipulate on-screen objects, and
a virtual keyboard. Despite being primarily designed for
touch screen input, it has also been used in game
consoles, digital cameras, regular PCs, and other electronics.
As of 2015, Android has the largest installed base of all
operating systems of any kind.
Android have gained popularity in Technology Company
which requires a ready-made, customizable operating
system which is also low-cost for their high-tech devices.
Due to its open nature android has also become popular
between a large community of enthusiasts and developers to
use the open-source for developing its advanced features or
to use it as a foundation for their community-driven
projects.
Android has a large selection of third-party application,
which a user can acquire by downloading and installing the
applications APK (Android application package) file or
user can also download them using an application store
program that allows them to install, update and remove
application from their devices. Google Play Store is the
primary application store installed on Android devices.
Google Play Store allows users to browse, download and
update applications published by Google and third-party
developers
IV.
CLOUD STORAGE
Cloud storage is a model of data storage where the digital
data is stored in logical pools. The physical storage spans
multiple servers (and often locations) and the physical
environment is typically owned and managed by a hosting
company.
Cloud storage services may be accessed through a colocated cloud computer service. A web service Application
Programming Interface (API) or by application that utilize

PROPOSED SYSTEM AND ITS OPERATIONS

The proposed application will be developed for computer

using java since it is platform independent and robust in
nature. The application will also be available for Android
user in the form of third-party application i.e. APK file. The
APK file will be developed with the help of java and java
swing.
5.1 Client Side Operation
The main goal of the application is the securing of the data.
So the client side operation is based on providing security to
data being sent to recipient or being stored in the system
memory (locally) or stored in the cloud (globally). The main
operation is listed below:-

Client/User must register himself by specifying his valid

email id because universal key will be sent to his email id

which can be made use in future for changing his/her
account details .
The user can select the cryptographic algorithm for the
message along with different key length. The selected
algorithm will encrypt the sending message.
The user can send message to another user. The message
will be encrypted by the public key of the recipient.
The user can also attach document with the message. The
attachment will be separately encrypted and sent.
The user can encrypt a text file or a image with the help of
application and store it locally or in the cloud, as per their
convenience. The encrypted file can be accessed through the
application after decrypting it.
All these primary function will also be available on android
client side.
5.2 Server Side Operation
The server will be monitoring and storing the data in the
cloud. The server will store the information about the user
and the user system i.e. MAC id and for android it will be
device id. The server will not allow the two user to register
from same device or system to provide an extra security. In
the case of device lost, the user can use their universal key
which will be given to them at the time of registration to
register a new device to their old account.
Server will validate the identification of the client with the
help of device id and email id. This application dont allow
two email id to get register from the same device id. so as to
secure the data of primary user of that device. using this
function will also help us in implementing security measure
in the time of device theft. for example every customer will
be provided a universal key at the time of registration and if
they lose their primary registered device then they can
register a new device for the old account and can access all

SYSTEM DESIGN

Systems design is the process of defining the

architecture, components, modules, interfaces, and data for
a system to satisfy specified requirements. Systems design
could be seen as the application of systems theory to product
development. There is some overlap with the disciplines
of systems
analysis, systems
architecture and systems
engineering.
The system has been to designed to make the user
experience better and also to meet the main aim of the
application that is to provide the security to the data of user
stored or being transmitted.
7.1 Use case diagram

The main aim of this phase is to determine whether it would

be financially and technically feasible to develop the
product.

The feasibility assessment has to be addressed in three

levels, such as:
Economic feasibility
Technical feasibility
Operational feasibility
Social feasibility
6.1 Economic Feasibility
The developing of the application requires a
android SDK and a java platform to develop the program.
The android SDK is freely available on the internet as well
as we can download the Java platform from the internet
without any cost. As lots of people want to secure their
personal data from theft, this application will provide them a
way to secure their sensitive data, so the application have
fairly good market success probability
6.2 Technical feasibility
The developing of the system requires the knowledge of
java and java swings. The reason behind choosing java as
source code language is because java is platform
independent language and its easier to learn and implement
application in java. Java swings is used the implement the
interface of the android application.
6.3 Operational Feasibility
After testing the various aspects of this application
package, it has been found that the system is operationally
feasible to a project is being supported by the management
as well the users. The system will also produce every report
needed by the management. No data is viewed by any
outside resource or users who are not privileged to do so
hence it is operationally feasible to do so with full security.
6.4 Social feasibility
The proposed application would be of universal
acceptance because of its easy accessibility and the function
to secure their most sensitive data like text and image.

Here admin is nothing but the server who is having the

authority to

Change private key and

Configure user account details.

But the user has been given a chance to

Compose a mail.

Check his inbox.

Configure his/her account details.

Access his/her drafts.

Change his/her private key.

7.2 Activity Diagram

7.3 Data Centered Architecture

Here we make use of data centered architecture I.e.,

cloud for storing our secured data in encrypted
format.

Hence Client and server can interact with each

other in an efficient and secured way.
VIII.

CONCLUSION

Here the main focus of data security is being successfully

achieved with the help of secured cryptographic techniques
such as RSA, Message digest. And our second focus of
secured data transmission is also achieved with the help of
this technique.
The application have fairly good success market probability
and can be able to provide a security for the data to be stored
locally (on device) or globally (cloud) due to its function to
encrypt and then store data.
REFERENCES

User must enter user id and password for logging

in, here maximum of three trials are given in a
single session for correct login if not achieved
application will be closed abruptly.
Once successful login is done home page is
displayed with many options such as compose
mail, drafts, algorithm change ,key generator and
help.
If mail composing is chosen then a separate tab will
be created for mail composition and allows the user
to attach files.
Once mail is composed user has to specify private
key of receiver and send it.
Once mail sent user will be allowed to access
his/her home page options.
And hence the process continues till he /she feels
that complete work has been done by logging out
from them application.
