Abstract:
The focus of this work is to provide authentication and
confidentiality of messages in a swift and cost effective manner to
suit the fast growing Internet applications. A nested hash
function with lower computational and storage demands is
designed with a view to providing authentication as also to
encrypt the message as well as the hash code using a fast stream
cipher MAJE4 with a variable key size of 128-bit or 256-bit for
achieving confidentiality. Both nested Hash function and MAJE4
stream cipher algorithm use primitive computational operators
commonly found in microprocessors; this makes the method
simple and fast to implement both in hardware and software.
Since the memory requirement is less, it can be used for
handheld devices for security purposes.

Abstract:
Extensive use of the Internet coupled with the
marvelous growth in e-commerce and m-commerce has created a
huge demand for information security. The Secure Socket Layer
(SSL) protocol is the most widely used security protocol in the
Internet which meets this demand. It provides protection against
eaves droppings, tampering and forgery. The cryptographic
algorithms RC4 and HMAC have been in use for achieving security
services like confidentiality and authentication in the SSL. But recent
attacks against RC4 and HMAC have raised questions in the
confidence on these algorithms. Hence two novel cryptographic
algorithms MAJE4 and MACJER-320 have been proposed as
substitutes for them. The focus of this work is to demonstrate the
performance of these new algorithms and suggest them as dependable
alternatives to satisfy the need of security services in SSL. The
performance evaluation has been done by using practical
implementation method.
