A novel approach for ticket generation and validation using RSA and keccak algorithms

Abstract

The motivation for this research arises from the challenges faced by railway operators in managing ticketing processes effectively. These challenges highlight the need for a robust web-based application to automate ticket verification and validation, emphasizing the importance of developing a secure and efficient ticket generation and validation system. The proposed solution employs RSA (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman) and Keccak cryptographic algorithms to ensure the security and efficiency of ticket generation and validation. By generating digital signatures and hash functions, the authenticity and integrity of ticket data are maintained. Recipients can utilize the sender's public key and the same hash function to verify the ticket data's authenticity. The system offers several advantages, including security, integrity, authentication, efficiency, and scalability. Future work may involve implementing multi-party computation, developing more efficient algorithms, exploring blockchain technology, and conducting more extensive testing and evaluation.
