Introduction
Cryptography provides security to data and communication.

A new method for the fast generation of pseudo random

cryptographic keys with high degree of randomness and high
resistance to replication.

Initial key string is produced using all the components of seed

considered like system time, processes information, cursor position,
CPU register information etc.

All cryptographic algorithms need generation of secret, un-

guessable random numbers.

 Pseudo random number
cryptographic key generator
How to generate the pseudo random cryptographic key?

Lot of work and research is done in the area of Random

Number Generators, Random Key Generators, Pseudo-
Random Keys and Numbers, Bio-metric Key generators,
Hybrid RNG etc.

5
Specification of algorithm

Generating randomness along with specified character
generation of random cryptographic key.


Computer clocks, or similar operating system or hardware
values etc.


we are considering time string obtained from system time
just to demonstrate how rotating string and a random
number generator together can be clubbed to obtain a
pseudo random cryptographic keys.

continued
Following are considered for the algorithm to be
presented in this paper
i. Seed.
ii. Random Number Generator.
iii. Initial key String.
iv. User Preference string .

IDEA Algorithm
It operates on 64-bit plaintext and ciphertext blocks with a
128-bit key.

IDEA is somewhat different from the rest of the symmetric

key encryption algorithms in that it uses algebraic
operations completely and does without table lookup
methods.

9
continued
The project is sub-divided into 5 parts, which are the

1.IDEA core
2.The key schedulers for encryption.
3.Decryption
4. The modular multiplier
5.The modular inverter.

 Software Tool
 MATLAB 7.0

13
Advantages and Disadvantages
Advantages:
Simple
Encrypt and decrypt your own files
Fast
Uses less computer resources
Prevents widespread message security compromise

14
 Disadvantages:

Need for secure channel for secret key exchange.

Too many keys.

15
Applications
Online Web based File Sharing

Email Passwords

 Folder Locks

16
Scope for future work
Future work could be done on idea concerning with
pseudo random cryptographic key generation over a
proactive symmetric key systems.
Research in this area could be performed to assess the
idea’s practicality.
Surrounding a third party relationship. Positive results in
this analysis could lead to a possible implementation of
their research in the future.
