A Novel Approach to Strengthen Additional Layer of Security to Caesar Cipher

Abstract

We are living in the world of technology where we share our messages to the sender via several messaging applications. While we share the information, we are not aware about how secure our messages are and whether any person can hack the private messages or not. It is obvious when the messaging applications with no security pose great risk to our private information. Cryptography is a technique which is used to hide the information in the form of encryption. This preserves confidentiality, integrity and availability and also provides security and privacy of data to the users. In this study, we have developed a simple approach with an additional layer of security to be added over the Caesar Cipher to enhance the security that can be incorporated with messaging applications.
