Abstract

The importance of protection for information is increasing by the rapid development of information communication and network. Asymmetric crypto-system is the mainstream in encryption system rather than symmetric cryptosystem by above reasons. But asymmetric cryptosystem is restricted in applying to application fields by the reason it takes more times to process than symmetric cryptosystem. In this paper, the proposed cryptosystem uses an algorithm that combines block cipherment with stream ciphcrment. Proposed cryptosystem has a high stability in aspect of secret rate by means of transition of key sequence according to the information of plaintext while asymmetric /symmetric cryptosystern conducts encipherment/decipherment using a fixed key Consequently, it is very difficult to crack although unauthenticator acquires the key information. So, the proposed encryption system which has a certification function of asymmetric cryptosystcm and a processing time equivalent to symmetric cryptosystcm will be highly useful to authorize data or exchange important information.
