ABSTRACT

Data is the wealth of this century. Big social networking sites target for people for data to

enrich their business to reach billion dollar network. Data is not just a wealth, its a identity that

compromises the privacy of people. Encryption is not new to this world. A private data may

contain anything that user may interested to buy and sell. Data also includes browser history,

family photos and places where people regularly visit. It is the responsibility of the people to

protect their individual data. In today's world, companies tries to sell people’s data to increase

their wealth. Companies encrypt people’s data, but still companies use people data to make

money. Companies know how to break their encryption.

Astrology sometimes cannot predict the good or bad habits of people but it is accepted

fact that data processing can predict whether a person is good or bad. Data shows people’s day to

day actives including the food they order in Swiggy, type of movies you like, list of your friends

circle and costumes people buy. It is true that surveillance is needed for prevention of mistakes

but not for selling people’s data in black market. Now it is proved that million dollar companies

collect people’s with digital personalized advertisements. image. Anger, disgust, fear, happiness,

sadness, surprise, and neutral are among the emotions.

This tesseract based encryption technique to prevent data breaches in chat data can make

a huge impact in preventing the spy of data in individual life. It prevent the third party apps from

monitoring the user conversations and user interest. It provides double layer of encryption which

prevents companies from collecting out data.
