Application of RSAA for File Encryption

Abstract

Security of files for storage or transmission has become extremely important in this age. Files are used all around us. Prevention of certain files from unauthorised access is very important. Personal or critical files need to be safeguarded against intruders and hackers. We put forth a variable key length symmetric cryptosystem to encrypt text files based on the RSAA algorithm. It encrypts files by dividing its contents into blocks of 256 bits block at a time. High security is achieved even with a single character key. This algorithm is fast and can be used to encrypt large text files quickly with ease. Brute forcing this algorithm is infeasible due to Block Cellular Automata’s immense rule space and since key size isn’t fixed.
