Super-Encryption Implementation Using Monoalphabetic Algorithm and XOR Algorithm for Data Security

Abstract

The exchange of data that occurs offline and online is very vulnerable to the threat of data theft. In general, cryptography is a science and art to maintain data secrecy. An encryption is a cryptography algorithm in which data is transformed into cipher text, which is something that is unreadable and meaningless so it cannot be read or understood by other parties. In super-encryption, two or more encryption algorithms are combined to make it more secure. In this work, Monoalphabetic algorithm and XOR algorithm are combined to form a super- encryption. Monoalphabetic algorithm works by changing a particular letter into a new letter based on existing keywords while the XOR algorithm works by using logic operation XOR Since Monoalphabetic algorithm is a classical cryptographic algorithm and XOR algorithm is a modern cryptographic algorithm, this scheme is expected to be both easy-to-implement and more secure. The combination of the two algorithms is capable of securing the data and restoring it back to its original form (plaintext), so the data integrity is still ensured.
