To provide the confidentiality of messages transmitted over the network, the use of cryptographic system is increasing gradually and the hybrid cryptosystem, which combines the advantages of the symmetric cryptosystem and the public key cryptosystem is widely used. In this paper, we proposes a new hybrid cryptosystem capable of providing implicit authentication for the sender of the ciphertext by means of the 1-pass key distribution protocol that offers implicit key authentication, hash function and symmetric cryptosystem. Also, we describe some examples such as the Diffie-Hellman based system and the Nyberg-Ruppel based system. The proposed hybrid cryptosystem is an efficient more than general public key cryptosystems in the aspect of computation work and provides implicit authentication for the sender without additional increase of the communication overhead.
