Review of Various Algorithms Used in Hybrid Cryptography

Abstract

Cryptography is a technique used today for hiding any confidential information from the attack of an intruder. The study of hybrid cryptography going to present is based on the study of hybridization. Study has been performed from 1993 to 2013. All the concepts related to hybrid cryptography have been analyzed and reached at the conclusion that the use of RSA is quite expanding. Near about 200 papers have been searched related to the problem and 55 have been considered in this review based on filtering. Tabular survey has been provided for ease of use. Major scope of work has been done using RSA. Diffie-Hellman is a today’s choice for algorithm implementation in any network. Another point of view is that very less use of DES is there due to some of its limitations such as less Avalanche effect. RSA, AES, SHA-1, MD5 are some of the most widely used algorithms for hybrid cryptography. The main aim of this review paper is to provide more and more information to the naïve researchers. Other objectives of this review paper are to emphasize on better performance, maximum speed of an algorithm, checking effectiveness, its efficiency and comparison with other related works.
