 ABSTRACT

In this era of computer the most important thing is to protect our information from
malicious users. Cryptography is a science which secure information by different type of
principle like encryption algorithms, authentication and authorization technique. Encryption
techniques are widely used for information hiding. It has also different techniques of encryption
and substitution technique is one of them.
Substitution technique has its long history. Caesar cipher, hill cipher, mono alphabetic
cipher, poly alphabetic cipher, play fair cipher etc. are type of substitution cipher. Substitution
cipher was limited only with text that’s why it was easy to make its combination and break. Now
we are working on substitution with color. Color has its long range nearly 18 decillion color. So
if we use this technique of substitution then it works better than text substitution.
In the whole world different types of language are used and if we want to make any
algorithm for all language then we need to use Unicode because it cover approximate all text.
Our algorithm Play Color Cipher is based on Play Fair Cipher. In Play Color Cipher we are
encoding special symbol, number and text. We first decide a key by which we select color for
substitution and then we put at that place the color. In this algorithm we follow approach of
matrix creation of text and color but its value vary according to key. It is hard to break it, because
if malicious user tries combination of keys then it gives a long range of different shade of color
which is really far from original text. Wrong key will produce wrong text.
This algorithm is secured form brute force attack, birthday attack and meet in the middle
attack. It also gives security for avalanche effect. In this we change the position of the particular
character that’s why it is tough to find out combination. It is new way of substitution and it takes
less memory also. It is better than all previous substitution algorithms. It uses RSA algorithm for
transfer of key which is more secured algorithm then other algorithm. We have done our work on
Unicode for securing information. We can use any language in this formula which can secure our
information easily and it gives output in block of color. It is not readable and understandable that
what is behind this block of color. It is new approaches of substitution cipher. It is more secure
than other substitution cipher technique because of long range of color is preset in the world.

Introduction Of the LetsChat

In an era marked by rapid technological advancements and a growing reliance on

real-time communication, the development of efficient and user-friendly messaging

applications has become imperative. Our project, the LetsChat Application, represents a

significant endeavour in this domain, aiming to provide users with a seamless two-way

messaging experience. Leveraging the power of MERN (MongoDB, Express.js, React,

Node.js) stack and the versatile socket.io technology, LetsChat stands at the

intersection of cutting-edge web development and real-time communication

As our interconnected world continues to demand efficient and instant modes of

communication, the LetsChat Application emerges as a pivotal solution in the realm of

real-time messaging. This project is a testament to our commitment to delivering a

user-centric, two-way messaging platform crafted with the powerful amalgamation of

MERN (MongoDB, Express.js, React, Node.js) stack and socket.io technology. The

LetsChat Application is designed to redefine the user experience in communication by

seamlessly blending the strengths of modern web development technologies.

 Planning of Work

Roadmap
We will complete our project in seven basic steps:

1. Selection of Problem Statement

We have selected our problem: “To reduce the time of professors.” and its solution.

2. Back-end Development

We will develop the required backend using ExpressJs Node JS and MongoDB.

3. Front-end Development

We will design the front end using React JS, CSS, and Javascript.

4. Integration

After checking all parts are working correctly, we will integrate the front-end and
