Abstract
Due to the availability of several social media platforms and their use in sending text messages, it is necessary to provide an easy and safe way to protect messages from being hacked especially in the presence of intruders and data thieves, and taking into consideration that most of those messages are confidential and personal, it is necessary to provide an easy and safe way to protect messages from being hacked. In this research paper, a simple and easy method of message cryptography will be proposed. The method divides a message into blocks with fixed sizes. The block size ranges from 2 to 60. The method uses a secret color image to generate an array with a size equal to the number of resulted blocks. The array will then be used as a private key. Each element of the private key will be used to calculate the number of rotation digits for the associated block in order to apply block rotation left operation. The proposed method will be examined using the parameter’s Mean Square Error (MSE), Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR), Correlation Coefficient (CC), and throughput. The proposed method will be compared with other standard methods of message cryptography, such as Data Encryption Standard (DES), Triple-DES (3DES), Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), and Blow Fish (BF). Experimental results show that the proposed method is secured enough based on using secret image, block size, and calculated Rotation Left Digits (RLD) for each block.
