Sms Encryption Application Using 3Des (Triple Data Encryption Standard) Algorithm Based on Android

Abstract

Security is an important aspect in communicating using information technology. SMS is a service provided by mobile phones to communicate by sending short messages quickly and cheaply. Short message delivery is done by SMS network, so the messages are not sent directly to the destination mobile phone. Therefore the messages that are sending by the SMS service need to be protected, so the security of the messages sent to the SMS network remains protected by its confidentiality. In this study the software will be built to improve the security of messages on SMS communication. The software that is built serves to encrypt messages that will be sent and decrypt messages with entered through the SMS service. Software built using the 3DES (Triple Data Encryption Standard) algorithm. The 3DES algorithm is a flow algorithm (block cipher) which belongs to the type of symmetry key cryptography system. The implementation of the 3DES algorithm on software that is built using the Java-based programming language Java. So only software that uses the Android operating system can use this encryption and decryption application.
