Cryptology And Communication
INTRODUCTION :
In today’s Knowledge Age, information transmission become

part and parcel of our lives. In this scenario , computer networks holds pride of
a Place. Now, as millions of ordinary citizens are using networks for banking,
shopping, and filing their tax returns, network security is looming in the horizon
as potentially massive problem. Hence this project aims at providing a modest
solution to the problem using “Cryptology”.
This project titled, ” Cryptology And Communication ”,
employs efficient algorithms such as Data Encryption Standard(DES)to tackle
the problem of network security.
The project contains two parts viz., COMMUNICATION
and CRYPTOLOGY. The communication part demonstrates that two or more
computers can be linked together like a mini LAN. One computer was called
SERVER and the other two its terminals or nodes. The source code was split into
two .One exclusively for sending and receiving data (data can be files or
messages) over the communication channel. This program is meant only for the
nodes. The second program must be executed on a central computer, which was
referred as FILE SERVER. A user working on the terminal can place a file in the
server or get the file from the server. Some of the features offered in the
COMMUNICATION part are:
 File transfer can be done in both directions i.e. server to the node and node to
the server, operating at the terminal.
 Facility to send urgent messages from node to the server had been provided.
 The users can share printer. The users working on the nodes can utilize a
printer connected to the server.

 Directory service of the server had been provided to the users working on
different nodes. This helps in locating files on the file server.
 More than two computers can be connected, i.e. two computers are
connected to the server to demonstrate the ability and the server can access
both the nodes.
 For providing greater security while transmitting, for each character, an

acknowledgement was sent back to the transmitter.
 For better security, each character was encrypted and the transmitted over
the line. On reaching the destination, it was decrypted back to the original
form. This process is similar to the function of presentation layer of a LAN.
The other part, CRYPTOLOGY, demonstrates how the message in plain

natural language called plaintext can be enciphered and again deciphered back
to the plaintext. Many famous algorithms or ciphering techniques such as
CAESAR CIPHER, NIHILIST TRANSPOSITION, VIGNERE CIPHER, UNIT
TRANSPOSITION, GRONSFELD CIPHER, BEAUFORT CIPHER,VARIANT
BEAUFORT,KNIGHT’S TOUR etc …. had been implemented successfully as
one integrated package. The enciphering process scrambles the bits so
thoroughly that a person wanting the information is unlikely to be able to
unscramble them.

ANALYSIS :
The concept of cryptography has great importance. right

from the days of kings people want to communicate without being recognized. To
acheive that they used to change the text into unreadable or un intelligible form.
The well recorded strategy is followed by ceaser who used
to transfer data in encrypted form. in his method he used to replace every
character by the character three places next to it in the alphabet, there by making
it unreadable
During the second world war this concept played pivotal
role the germans invented enigma machine, the Japanese purple .the allied
forces had the great difficulty in decoding the actual text. Finally turing cracked
the code and discovered the machine bomb which can decrypt the message .this
led to the allied victory but the methods used for encryption are old they used
rotors and machines to do that. with the advent of computer and the whole task is
being done with the computer
The art of secret writing is not new today, It dates back to

thousand of years. The content of this chapter describes general terms most
often used in the field of “cryptology”. The moment you connect your computer
to any other computer, whether by Local Area Network with coworkers or by a
dial-up connection to an internet provider, you subject yourself to some risk that
your data could be compromised. Your data could be stolen or destroyed. Your
communications could be intercepted or misdirected.
The security of internet host sites is nebulous at best. Eventually all of
them will face some sort of break-in. it might be a hacker trying to prove that he
or she can gain unauthorized access to an internet site, or it might be a malicious
attempt to destroy data. Being forewarned is your best defense against your data

being corrupted or used in unauthorized fashion. One of the ways in which you
can ensure the privacy of your data is by cryptography.
2.1 : Problem Specification
T he word cryptography is the art and science of secret writing

and communication, embracing all kinds including codes and signaling .
Cryptanalysis is the art of “cracking” or “breaking” cryptic communication
messages called ciphers to which one doesn’t have a key. The term here
generally includes all kinds of hidden communication, but this project restricts it to
the sense of breaking written communications or cryptograms.
Cryptology deals almost exclusively with letters and words, and

can include such secret communication as those involving the telephone,
facsimile and certain aspects of television. The science of cryptology also deals
with deciding whether or not a given message is worth cracking. As for the turn
cryptology, it has come to signify the science that includes unspecified aspects of
cryptography and cryptanalysis, and the work involved in rendering a particular
communication system secure. The later embraces both preventing
unauthorized message-handling and intercepting messages from stations whose
cryptologists has the responsibility to prevent interceptors from obtaining what
from his point of view is secret and private.
The term cipher implies a method, or system, of secret writing

which is unlimited in scope; it should be possible, using any one given cipher, to
transform any plaintext (a message in common language), regardless of its
length and the language in which it is written, into a cryptogram, or single
enciphered message. The process of accomplishing this transformation is called
encipherment; the opposite process to that of transforming cryptograms into a
plaintext is called decipherment.

The word decrypt which is borrowed from modern French and

Italian writers with its various derivatives is being used to signify the process of
solving and reading cryptogram without any previous knowledge as to their keys,
or secret formulas. Thus the word deciphers conveys only one meaning as
mentioned above the mechanical process of applying a known key.
A key is a word, and becomes a keyword. If more than one word is

serially involved in the key to a cipher, it remains keyword, though it can be called
as key phrase. If numerals constitute the key, the term becomes numerical key
or simply keyword. A keyword sets the pattern of a cipher, and may not
necessarily be a plaintext word.

3.1 : Different Ciphering Techniques
The prime aim of this chapter is to describe in detail about various

ciphering techniques that are derived out of a few famous algorithms and are
used in this project. These algorithms are many in number but only few had been
successfully implemented in this project. Ciphering algorithms are classified as
follows.
♦ Concealment ciphering
♦ Transposition ciphering
♦ Substitution ciphering
♦ Other techniques.
The word diagram is being used to indicate a two-letters sequence:

similarly there are trigrams, tetragrams, pentagrams etc, to indicate sequence of
three, four, five, etc., letters. Ciphers, in general, fall into three major
classifications:
1. Concealment cipher,
2. Transposition cipher , and
3. Substitution cipher.
Minor types, such as “abbreviation “, are sometimes used, though these

have never seemed to be truly of a cryptographic nature.In concealment cipher,
which is not often seen in popular literature, the true letters of the secret message
are hidden, by any device and this type of cipher is intended to pass without
being suspected as the conveyor of a secret communication.

In transportation cipher, the true letters of the secret message are taken
out of their text-order, and are rearranged or “scrambled” according to the key
pattern.
In substitution cipher, the original letters are replaced with substitutes or
cipher-symbols, and these symbols are arranged in the same order as their
originals. Popular, hobby type cryptograms usually leave word spacing and
punctuation in place, and eliminate all cipher alphabet patterns that cause any
letter to equal the same letter in the standard alphabets. These cryptograms are
called “ aristocrats”. Word spacing and punctuation is “dead give always” to the
experienced analysts. Hence to make a cipher just a bit more secure it can be
reduced to five or six letter code groups, eliminating original word spacing and
punctuation. In this context, cipher text is referred to as code groups when its
letters are spaced five or six letters to a group. A code system is more
cumbersome than a cipher system, since the code book (or the key) that must
necessarily be provided contains a long list of words, phrases or sentences. A
single number can stand for one or more words as
DECIPHERMENT SECTION ENCIPHERMENT SECTION

Leave no evidence 600 392 About
Careful 428 967 Meet me
Come; London 312 998 Fly is in the web
Meet me 967 125 Armored car
A code book can be quite bulky, and must be always guarded carefully. A
pair of code books with symbols arranged at random would afford a high degree
of secrecy. This type of effort for producing secret code is referred to as encoding
and reducing them to the plain text is called decoding. Even though, they offer
the highest degree of secrecy the code book becomes worthless if comprised
without the knowledge of the parties in communication.
1. CONCEALMENT CIPHERING:

It is the oldest known secret writing method in which cipher text seems to
be like a plain message. It is difficult to suspect that it is conveyer of a secret
communication. The oldest application is found in the ancient device of writing
the secret message on the Shaved head of the slave, and dispatching the slave
after his growing hair had covered the message. Another device is some what
more practical: The secret message is written on a wooden tablet, then covered
with wax coating, and second message is written on the top.In the Middle Ages,
the development over concealment writing called puncture cipher was used. This
was very famous in England, and was used to avoid the payment of postage.
This puncture cipher was practiced by simply punching holes with pintos that
these letters when read in regular order would convey desired information.
Concealment cipher is known by various names such as NULL cipher, OPEN
LETTER cipher, CONVENTIONAL WRITING, DISSIMILATED WRITING and so
the name NULL cipher means that the cryptograph has a great portion of letters
null or insignificant letters and only a few truly significant letters convey the
meaning. For example, the message: To those friends considering, it is
always news but all filled ciphers disturb happiness with varied answer,
give the concealed meaning THIS IS A NULL CIPHER. This is obtained by
reading a first letter in first word, second letter in second word, and so on. There
are many other ways. For instance: inspect details for Trigleth-acknowledge the
bonds from fewer can be written down in rows as shown below.
I N SP E C T
DE TA I L S
FO R
TR IGL E T H
AC KNOW L EDGE
TH E
BO NDS
F R OM
F E WE L L
From this the decryptor can find out that the third column gives the secret
message, STRIKE NOW.

If column give no results, diagonals can be checked or a zigzag line

between first column and other can be inspected.
2. TRANSPOSITION CIPHERING:
A method of producing cipher text from a plain text in which

the letters are disarranged from their natural order according to a particular
pattern or key is called transposition ciphering. These ciphering techniques
basically follow two types: regular and irregular. The regular type is further sub-
divided into two categories: geometrical & symmetrical. The geometric type is
also called complete unit transposition – is based on small unit or cycle repeated
over again and again .If the plain text message is not evenly divisible into units, it
is usually extended by the addition of extra characters called nulls. Some of the
keys are geometrical figures such as triangle, diamond etc.
Following is the example with a unit consisting of letters and geometrical
figure used is cross. The cryptograms are usually grouped into five letter units
before transmission by cable or radio.
A D E H I L M P
B C F G J K N O
Plaintext : ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP.
Cryptogram (a) : ADBCE HFGIL JKMPN O.
Cryptogram (b) : ACBDE GFHIK JLMON P.
Cryptogram (c) : ADEHI LMPBC FGJKN O.
If the message is for instance ABCDE, the above figure gives many simple
ways in which a plaintext can be enciphered by transposition of letters. In
cryptogram (a) and (b) the letters of a unit are still together whereas in
cryptogram (c), the letters of one unit has been mixed with letters of another unit.
The decrypted message can be obtained by transpositioning in opposite way.

Another most popular geometrical figures used for transposition ciphering

appear as square, with or without series of numbers 1to25, 1 to 36 etc. Two
widely known examples of using a square are magic square and knightstour. The
magic square is a square in which row, column, diagonal adds up to a unique
number called magic number. Magic square with odd number of rows can be
easily generated using Loubere’s method, which does not work for squares with
even number of rows. The knights-tour is based on the chessboard with a unit of
64 places. The piece called Knight moves diagonally in an awkward manner
unlike other pieces in the game of chess. The Knight takes a move 2x3 or 3x2
oblong. The tour starts at one corner of the board and covers all the places
touching each place exactly once. Out of the many possible tours, one such tour
is given below.
MAGIC SQUARE:
8 1 6
3 5 7
4 9 2
KNIGHT’S TOUR:
1 4 53 18 55 6 43 20
52 17 2 5 38 19 56 7
3 64 15 54 31 42 21 44
16 51 28 39 34 37 8 57
63 14 35 32 41 30 45 22
50 27 40 29 36 33 58 9
13 62 25 48 11 60 23 46
26 49 12 61 24 47 10 59

The first letter of plain text is placed at the cell indicated by numeral one,
second letter at 2, third at 3 and so on. Once the job of positioning is over, the
cipher text is ready and can be written row-wise. Geometric transposition is also
called unit transposition.
An example of complete unit transposition is indicated below which
corresponds to the message: Blow the Naval Airbase on Republic Day KKK
(32 letters plus 3 nulls) is written in form of block with five letters per row.

Cryptograms:

BHABN BABEL ARLYO NASEL… ,etc.
(b) By alternating verticals from the top right:
TVROU DKKCP EIAWK IESAN OYLRA… ., etc.
(c ) By diagonals:
BHNAE OBLNW NAAAT BRSIV ALEER …, etc.
Both the writing in and taking off follow a rule, and hence the cipher is
also called route transposition and some times rectangle transposition.
Decryptment is absolutely based on trials on the known routes. Major problem
that an analyst encounters is the dimensions.
One of the simple method of transpositioning the letters is obtained by
dividing the given plain text into two strings and forming cipher text by writing
down alternate letters as
Plain Text: BLOW THE NAVAL AIRBASE ON REPUBLIC DAY.

B L O W T H E NAVALA I R B
AS E O N R E P U B L I C DAY
Cipher text: BAL SOE WOT NHR EEN PAU VBA LLI ACI DRA BY
This looks like zigzag way of arrangement. This is of regular type. The
irregular type of transposition is comparatively complex with higher degree of
difficulty, the simplest being RAIL-FENCE Cipher. In this the arrangement of
letters look like the fencing provided for guarding the rail track. For instance the
above plain text may be represented as,
B T A A A N U C
L W H N V L I B S O R P B I D Y
O E A R E E L A
Cipher text: BTA AAN UCL WHN VLI BSO RPB IDY OEA REE LA.
Rather than remembering the system, which changes from time to time, it
will be better to use the same system, but is governed by the changeable
numeric key or a code word. For example a numeric key 4731256 can be derived
from the keyword NUMBERS by arranging letters in it alphabetically. Using this
keyword the cipher text for the above plain text will be
N U M B E R S
4 7 3 1 2 5 6
B L O W T H E
N A V A L A I
R B A S E O N
T H E R E P U
B L I C D A Y
Cipher text:

WASRC TLEED OVAEI BNRTB HAOPA EINUY LABHL.
In this cipher, seven letters or seven numbers implies seven columns and
hence the key-length is seven. The decryptment is just opposite to encryptment,
and is completely based on how it is written in and taken off. This cipher is called
nihilist transposition. This cipher text may be again sent to cipherment applying
the keyword column wise, thus making the task of decryptment highly difficult.
There is another ciphering technique, which came into existence many

years ago, developed by cryptologist E. Myszkowsky, and is supposed to be
non-decryptable. The keyword is repeated throughout until the text is sufficient
enough to provide one key letter for one plain text letter. The letters in the key are
assigned numeric values. With all A’s receiving the first number, all B’s the next
number and so on. The ciphertext is taken off according to the sequence. For the
above plain text if keyword is ADVICE cipher text will be:
Keyword
A D V I C E A D V I C E A D V I C E A

Plain text: B L O W T H E N A V A L A I R B A S E
Cipher text: BEAET AALNI HISWV BOAR.
The AMSCO cipher follows all zeros of a columnar transposition cipher

except that letters are taken as pairs at every alternate place. Following is a
cipher called the UNITED STATES ARMY DOUBLE TRANSPOSITION in which
the same rules applies as in single columnar transposition. Nihilist transposition
cipher is employed twice; Nulls are added if required; and the key is also used.

Final Cryptogram: TNXLR LSBIW VXEHA OABAA E.
The columns of the upper block are always used directly as rows in the
lower block and then columns of the lower block are taken off as cryptogram.
This kind of ciphers take the decryptor to trace for the length of the keyword and
hence time of several hours or several days. The double columnar transposition
can be made much complex when the key length is made long and the columns
short, and can be made further more complicated by carrying out cipheremnet a
third time; a different key with each new block can perhaps be used
3. SUBSTITUTION CIPHER:
As the name indicates, a substitution cipher makes use of a set of symbols
or letters to replace the existing letter with a new letter or symbol at that place.
This kind if ciphering is used in the daily life also: The Morse code which uses

dots and dashes, the Braille which is used for blind, the drum language of the
African jungles, and so on. A cipher text as such is a difficult task to crack for a
decryptor. The decryptor has to deal with a cryptogram, which consists of
arbitrary science, and he begins the decryption by making a substitution of his
own, by replacing each unfamiliar symbol with a letter or number.
The substitution cipher is classified into four major groups as given below:
Simple Substitution makes use of only one cipher alphabet; also called as
mono-alphabetic substitution.
Multiple-alphabet substitution makes use of several cipher alphabets

according to an agreed plan to construct the cryptogram. It is also called as
Double-key substitution, poly - alphabetic Substitution, etc. Sometimes the
term multi-Substitutional cipher is also used to indicate the multiple-alphabetic
substitution ciphering.
Polygram – Substitution is a method in which groups of letters replaced

with other groups consisting of different letters or numbers.
Fractional Substitution is another method in which first ordinary

substitution is performed on single letters and then these fractions are subjected
to further encryption. The result is a combination cipher rather than a purely
substitutional one. One of the oldest ciphering techniques of this type was used
by Julius Caesar. Another one of such kind was in use by Octavius. Caesar
formed the cryptogram be merely producing a shift on the normal alphabet. For
instance, D can be obtained by a “Shift” of 3 on A; hence this forms a Caesar
cipher 3. The entire cipher text is written down with a shift of 3. This kind of
ciphers is supposed to be weak ciphers. Following is an example for the shifted
cipher or Caesar cipher with a shift of 5.
Plain text: Blow The Naval Airbase On Republic Day.

Alphabet:
AB C DE FG H I JK L MN O P Q R S T UVWXYZ
Substitute:
FG H I J KL M NO P Q R S T U V W X Y Z ABCDE
Cipher text:
GQTB YMJ SFAFQ FNWGFXJ TS YMJ WJUZGQNH IFD.
This can be rewritten into groups of three letters or five letters according to
the choice of the user. The plain text can be again found out by producing a shift
of five but in reverse side. Producing the inverse alphabet and substituting it does
another method of producing a cipher text. The inverse alphabets are given
below.
Alphabet:
A B C D E F G H I J K L MN O P QR S TU V WX Y Z
Substitute:
Z Y X W VU T S RQ P O NM L K J I H GF E D C B A
The same plain text would look as the following cryptogram once
enciphered using the inverse cipher.
Cipher text:
YOLD GSV MZEZO ZRIYZHV LM GSV IVKFYORX WZB.
Whenever a plain text alphabet is merely reversed and used as cipher

alphabet, the encipherment is called Reciprocal alphabet cipher. The inverse
alphabet cipher is one such example; the formation of other reciprocal alphabet is
as follows:
α a) A B C D E F G H I J K L M
NOPQRSTUVWXYZ
b)A B C D E F G H I J K L M
SRQPONZYXWVUT
c)E X A C T L Y B D F G H I
ZWVUSRQ PONMKJ

d)E X A C T L Y B D F G H I
J K M NO P Q R S U V W Z
In the example c) and d) given above the keyword EXACTLY is used. In

case any letter in the key repeated, it is just omitted. The key must consist of
well-mixed alphabets such as UNCOPYRIGHTABLE. The complex the cipher or
substitute is, the stronger is the cipher text. For instance, the decryptment is very
difficult if the substitute is like the following:
Alphabet: ABCDEFGH I J KLMNOP QRST UVWXYZ
Substitute: UBJ S ZLDKTPFMVEGNWRHOXCA I QY
Such kind of ciphers can be obtained by forming a mixed alphabetical

cipher. Some of the methods are as follows:

In the polyalphabetic substitution cipher, the encipher can use any of

the 26 letters to substitute a particular letter. The earliest known cipher of this
kind is the PORTA in 1563. In 1586 came the VIGNERE; both of them used
tableau. The Vignere tableau uses a 26x26 grid of alphabets, which was

successfully eliminated in this project; otherwise an extra module would have

been needed to prepare the 26x26 grid. The vignere tableau is given below.

This can be consolidated when working with numerals i.e., A=0,B=1,. .,..,
Z=25 can be used to add or subtract to the ASCII code of the plaintext. The
cryptogram is based on the period (i.e., the length of key). If the key is CAT, then
the cryptogram will have a period of 3.

This can be grouped into 3 or 5 letter words. The Gronsfeld cipher arrived
in 1655 and is a tricky method purely based on the numeric key. The idea is
based on producing shift from the plaintext letter. Following is an example for
Gronsfeld encipherment.

The Beaufort cipher has two types – true Beaufort and variant Beaufort. It
uses a 27x27-alphabet square in which all four of the outside alphabets are alike.

the Beaufort cipher in 1857. Following is an example, which has the keyword C.

The decipherment is many times easy as two or more keys can yield the
plain text. The key-interruption method is simple to apply and easy to understand.
A key word such as ORGANIZATIONAL is selected and applied on words along
with word-spacing irregularly as ORGA OR ORGANIZA ORG ORGANI O

Giovanni Baptista della Porta developed the Porta Table cipher method in
1565. The table uses a keyword and the table below to encipher messages.

To begin, write out your plain message and write out the keyword above it, as
shown below:
Keyword: JACKET
Plain Message: LOOK UNDER THE COUCH.
The next step is to use the Porta table to create the enciphered message. Use
the letters from the keyword (jacket in the example above) to locate the correct
line to use in the Porta table. In the example above "J" is the first keyword letter.
Thus, locate "J" on the left hand side of the Porta table - the letters in all
uppercase. Once you locate the "J," the 5th set of uppercase letters in the Porta
table, you use the letter from the plain message to find the enciphered letter
above or below it. In this example the value for "L" in the "J" set is "U". See the
example below:
Notice how the letter "O" from the word "LOOK" has a different cipher value
because of the different keyword letters. The first "O" is directly under the
keyword character "A." Thus, the value of "O" in the "A" set is "B." The second
"O" is in the "C" set with a value of "C" for letter "O."
Once the cipher has been written you may want to add in extra characters, like
the "z" at the end of my rewritten cipher, to confuse decipherers. Another good
idea is to rewrite the cipher, as shown above, into blocks of letters. The example
above blocks letters into groups of 3.
To decipher a message encoded with the Porta table you'll need the keyword and
the Pora table for reference. Simply write out the enciphered message and the
keyword above it. Then, find the corresponding values for each letter, as you did

during the enciphering process. When you are all done read the string of letters
carefully to separate out the words and rewrite your message as a plain message
with spaces and punctuation.

Both the plain text and key are converted to codes and added to get the
cryptogram, which is not grouped. In the T-cipher, no key is used but the plain
text is enciphered according to specific pattern. The row and column positions
are interchanged according to the even-odd position of the plain text.
Plain text : M Y N A M E I S...
Cryptogram : 62 84 63 40 62 44 53 37. . .
This kind of codes are obtained in the T-cipher which uses a check board
as follows:
0 1 2 3 4
4 A B C D E
5 F G H I J
6 K L M N O
7 P Q R S T
8 U V W X Y
9 Z
The combinations 91,19,92,29,93,39,49 and 94 are not used for

cipherment. This cipher gives a better output and tends to be a stronger type

cipher. The cryptogram becomes totally unbreakable if the arrangement of

alphabets is made at random.
Delastelle as bifid and trifid had described one of the excellent examples
for the fractional substitution. The bifid uses a two-unit alphabet and extended to
keyword feature by M.E.Ohaver. The decryptment hence becomes highly
difficult. An example has been given as follows:

The bifid has two units of numbers; for a trifid there must be three units.
Other simple ciphers are due to Vernam and Data Encryption Standard (DES).
The Vernam cipher assumes a key and XORs every bit with the plain text letter,
i.e.,
Plain text(P)  P XOR K  Cipher text  Plain text(P)

(P XOR K) XOR K
here XOR implies a modulo-2 adder. Another logic can be found
as P-box, which can stand for both cipherment of letters or bits of each letter. If P-
box is applied for letters, then it will be transposition and for bits, it will be
substitution type cipher. P-box logic stands as a foundation for the DES
algorithm.

4. OTHER TECHNIQUES:
The conventional private key ciphers use the same key to
decipher message as used to encipher it. All cryptograms, until Diffile and
Hellman’s article in 1976,kept both the encryption and decryption keys secret. By
application of key, abc becomes XYZ, and on the same key XYZ becomes abc;
each can be derived from the other. Diffile and Hellman proposed to use an
encryption algorithm, E, and a decryption algorithm, D. Both E and D are chosen
so that deriving D would be impossible even if a complete description of E has
been provided, i.e.,
1. D (E (P)) = P.
2. It is impossible to derive D from E.
3.E cannot be broken by a chosen plaintext attack.
The users A and B using this scheme of Public Key Cryptography use
two different keys to pass secret messages. A computes his first message EB (p)
and sends it to B. B decrypts it by applying his secret key DB, i.e., he computes

COMMUNICATION
4.1 Introduction :
Due to the tremendous impact of computers and computer

communications on society during the past decade, this period in history has
come to be called the information age. The productivity and profitability of both
organizations and individuals have been enhanced significantly by these
revolutionary tools. Individuals use computer communications almost daily to
conduct personal and professional business. This trend is accelerating as more
people discover the power of computers and communications both for business
and for homes.
The day-to-day transactions at department stores, banks,
reservation counters, and other business are all dependent on computer
communication. The information age is equally dependent on the computer and
the computer networks.
Modern organizations today are widely dispersed, with offices located in
diverse parts of a country and the world. Many of the computers and terminals at
the sites need to exchange information and data often daily. The networking of
computers permits the sharing of resources. The use of networking allows a very
flexible working environment. Employees can work at home by using terminals
tied through networks into the computer at the office.
4.3 Sockets :
First and foremost in order to use the Winsock API you have to link to the
libraries mpr.lib and wsock32.lib. To do this in Visual Studio create a new project
then under the "Projects" menu choose "Settings...", or just hit Alt+F7. In the top
left of the dialog box there is a drop down list box labeled "Settings For:" change
it to read "All Configurations". In the tab control on the right of the dialog box
select the "Link" tab. In the middle of the tab there is an edit box labeled
"Object/Library Modules:" add the name of the libraries you want to link to, be

sure all the labraries in the list are separated by spaces. That being done you can
now begin to program.
The first step in using the WinSock API is to initialize WSA. I'm not positive what
WSA is, I'm assumng its short for WinSockApi, but I can't back that up. Whatever
it is it has to be initilized. This is done by calling WSAStartup(). This function
takes two parameters a version number in a WORD value and a WSADATA
structure, it returns an integer the return will be 0 if initialization is successful.
Here is an example of the initialization process:
WSADATA WsaDat;
if (WSAStartup(MAKEWORD(1, 1), &WsaDat) != 0)
{
printf("WSA Initialization failed.");
}
matter, For the version number I use the macro MAKEWORD(). It splits the
version number up and its easy to see what you are requesting. When you send
that version number you are requesting a specific version of WinSock, in the
example I am requesting version 1.1. You can request version 1.0, 1.1, and 2.0,
version 2.0 is not available in Win 95 without being specifically installed it does
exist in all later versions of Windows. The exact benifits of each version I'll leave
to you to research, from what I have read version 1.1 has all the important
features and since its available in all version of Windows without a patch it is
acceptable for most applications.
After you have initialized WinSock the next step is to create a socket. Sockets are
of two types stream sockets and datagram sockets. Stream sockets are easier to
use so I'll demonstrate them. All sockets are of type SOCKET, and you create
them with the socket() function. The socket() function takes three parameters.
The first is the type of connection you would like to use, for this use AF_INET this
designates you want to use an Internet style connection (or in other words use
TCP/IP) as far as I know this is the only connection permitted through WinSock.

The second parameter is the type of socket to use, for stream sockets use
SOCK_STREAM, or for datagram sockets use SOCK_DGRAM. The thrid
parameter is some value for the protocol from what I have read this value has
very little meaning and is usually ignored so I always pass zero here. The
socket() function will return the socket or INVALID_SOCKET if it can't create the
socket. Here is an example of that:
SOCKET Socket;
Socket = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
if (Socket == INVALID_SOCKET)
{
printf("Socket creation failed.");
}
Now we have a usable socket, what we need to do is make use of it. As with any
network connections you have to have a server and a client. For clarity I'm going
to call the server the computer that is listening for and incoming connection and
the client the computer that requests a connection with a server. Since the server
has to be listening before a client can connect I'll show how to setup the server
first. First we bind the socket to a TCP/IP port. This is done with the bind()
function. The bind() function takes three parameters, a socket to bind to, a pointer
to a data structure that has the port information (structure type STRUCTADDR),
and the size of the structure with the port information. There are a few points of
interest in this process so i'll just explain inside an example.
//The variables we will need SOCKADDR_IN SockAddr;

//We need a socket variable but for now // lets assume its the variable Socket we
prepared before.
//bind() does require one of those prepa // red sockets, so at one point you will
need to create one.
/* For those who are paying attention you may have noticed that I said before that
we need a struct SOCKADDR variable. Except I didn't declare one here. The
reason is that struct SOCKADD_IN holds the same information in the same way

as struct SOCKADDR does, the difference is that struct SOCKADDR_IN is easier

to work with. */
//We want to use port 50

SockAddr.sin_port = 50;
//We want an internet type connection (TCP/IP)

SockAddr.sin_family = AF_INET;
//We want to listen on IP address 127.0.0.1

//I'll give a few better ways to set thi // s value later
SockAddr.sin_addr.S_un.S_un_b.s_b1 = 127;
//Ok all the information is set, lets bind()

if (bind(Socket, (SOCKADDR *)(&SockAddr), sizeof(SockAddr)) ==
SOCKET_ERROR)
{
printf("Attempt to bind failed.");
}
That ought to be fairly straight forward to figure out. The connection type should
always be AF_INET, the port is an unsigned integer between 0 and 65,565, and
the address is four unsigned short values from 0 to 255 that is a valid IP address
of the server. We can specify the IP address we want to listen to, what if we want
to listen on multiple addresses? You could run throuh this process multiple times
to bind a socket on each address, or you could set the
SockAddr.sin_addr.S_un.S_addr to INADDR_ANY like this:
SockAddr.sin_addr.S_un.S_addr = INADDR_ANY;
Instead of setting the four octets of an IP address. The next issue that comes up
would be how do I know my IP address? There is a way of finding the address,

but its a little involved so I'm going to discuss that later. Now that we have a valid
socket bound to a TCP/IP port we need to listen on that socket for incoming
connections. We use the listen() function to accomplish that. The listen() function
takes two parameters a bound socket and the number of connections to accept.
Here is how that looks:
//Once again we're carrying through the Socket variable from the previous
example.
//We're only going to accept 1 incoming // connection.
listen(Socket, 1);
Not much to listen(). Just to clarify the listen() function does not accept the
incoming connections, it just sets your socket to listening on the specified port, no
more no less. To accept the incoming connection you use accept(). The accept()
function will will watch the port for a breif time then return an error. So unless you
know exactly when the connection is coming and can start accept at just the right
time you are going to miss the connection. One way around this is to place
accept() in a while loop until a connection is received. There is a problem with
this technique, in a DOS or console application its fine since nothing else can be
happening it doesn't but in a windows program it will stop responding until it gets
out of that loop. You may be able to set the accept() function to run on a short
timer or in a loop that is called in a thread. At any rate here is how it would look if
it were in a while loop until it received a connection:
//We are still carrying through the Socket variable from before
SOCKET TempSock = SOCKET_ERROR;
while (TempSock == SOCKET_ERROR)
{
TempSock = accept(Socket, NULL, NULL);
}
Socket = TempSock;

The reason for creating the TempSock variable is to preserve our real socket. I
don't want to overwrite it with an error just because we missed a connection. I
never looked into what is returned on a successful connection, I would assume it
is the socket you started with, but from examples I looked at it doesn't appear to
do that. All the documentation I read on accept() skipped over the return value,
they just copied the results back into the original socket so I am doing the same.
The second two parameters can be used to gain information on who connected
by passing a pointer to a SOCKADDR structure and its size like this:
SOCKADDR Addr;
accept(Socket, &Addr, sizeof(Addr);
I never tested sending a SOCKADDR_IN the same as in bind() but I haven't

tested this so I won't guarantee the results of this.
So now we are listening on a TCP/IP port and ready to accept a connection. So
lets look into requesting a connection. To do this we use the connect() function.
This function takes the same parameters as the bind() function except the port
and address are the ones you want to connect to instead of listen on obviously.
The connect() function will return a 0 if successful. Here is an example of that:
//The variables we will need

SOCKADDR_IN SockAddr;
//We need a socket variable but for now lets assume its a variable Socket we
prepared earlier.
//We want to use port 50
SockAddr.sin_port = 50;
//We want an internet type connection (TCP/IP)

SockAddr.sin_family = AF_INET;
//We want to connect to the IP address 1 // 27.0.0.1
//I'll give a few better ways to set thi // s value later

if (connect(Socket, (SOCKADDR *)(&SockAddr), sizeof(SockAddr)) != 0)

{
printf("Failed to establish connection with server.");
}
Now that we have a server with a connected client they need to exchange
information. This is done exactly the same for the client as it is for the server. The
functions to use are send() and recv(). They both take four parameters the socket
to send on, the data to send, and the number of bytes in the data. The way they
expect the data is in a pointer to a char. You can bundle other values into this just
typecast it into a char * and pass the correct number of bytes. The fourth
parameter isn't used so give a zero there. These functions will return the number
of bytes send or received if successful. They will return 0, WSAECONNRESET,
or WSAECONNABORT if the connection was closed at the other end. These
functions will also return SOCKET_ERROR if some error occurs during the
transmission. They recv() function, like the accept() function, only watches for a
brief period for the data to come through. Once again I place the function in a
while loop until data is received. Here is how the recv() function looks in such a
loop:
int RetVal = SOCKET_ERROR;

char String[50];
while (RetVal == SOCKET_ERROR)

{
RetVal = recv(Socket, String, 50, 0);
if ((RetVal == 0)||(RetVal == WSAECONNRESET)||(RetVal ==
WSAECONNABORT))
{
printf("Connection closed at other end.");

break;
}
}
Since errors are possible in sending the data I place it in a while loop as well.
Here is how that looks:
int RetVal = SOCKET_ERROR;

char String[] = "Hello";
while (RetVal == SOCKET_ERROR)
{
RetVal = recv(Socket, String, strlen(String) + 1, 0);
if ((RetVal == 0)||(RetVal == WSAECONNRESET)||(RetVal ==
WSAECONNABORT))
{
printf("Connection closed at other end.");
break;
}
}
In these examples the data to send, or the received data is in the character array
String. When the data is received there is a fixed amount of data that can be
received so it is possible to overrun the buffer. That is a quick run through of how
to use WinSock for network communications.
Now as I said before there are ways of determining your own network address.
This is by calling gethostname(). This will not return your IP address, only the text
computer name. This function takes two parameters a character array to place
the computer name in and the number of characters you have allocated in that
array. Here is how it looks:
char Name[255];
gethostname(Name, 255);

If you look at the example above you'll note that it uses the IP address, not the
computer name. What you can do is to call gethostbyname() which will give you
information about a host based on its name. It takes only one parameter, the
string that has the computer name, and it returns a pointer to a HOSTENT
structure. Here is an example:
HOSTENT *HostInfo;
HostInfo = gethostbyname("computer");
if (HostInfo == NULL)
{
printf("Attempt to retreive computer information failed.");
}
The gethostbyname() function will search through DNS records in order to find
the IP address. The careful readers will note that this HOSTENT structure is still
worthless since it doesn't fit into the SOCKADDR_IN anywhere. The IP address
is in the HOSTENT structure, its just buried. Here are the members of the
HOSTENT structure that I found useful. The h_addrtype member holds the type
of address this uses, as with the sockets the only type is AF_INET. The h_name
is a character array that will contain the complete host and domain name for that
computer, for instance host.domain.com. One catch to this, it will not do reverse
name lookups, for example if you look up the computer name "MyComputer"
h_name will hold "MyComputer.MyDomain.com" , however if you look up the
computer named "10.10.10.1" (which is really its IP) it will not translate that into a
computer name gethostbyname() will just put the text "10.10.10.1" in h_name.
The last member I want to discuss is h_addr_list, this one is somewhat confusing
so of course it has the information we are really after. The member h_addr_list if
a variable of type char**, but every time I have used it only one dimension of the
array is used. In the data that is filled the first four bytes hold the four octets of the
IP address. The rest of the array holds the same information as h_name. The
octets are written as unsigned char values so you would have to place them into
the SOCKADDR_IN structure like this:

SOCKADDR_IN SockAddr;
HOSTENT *HostInfo;
SockAddr.sin_addr.S_un.S_un_b.s_b1 = (unsigned char)HostInfo-
>h_addr_list[0][0];
>h_addr_list[0][1];
>h_addr_list[0][2];
>h_addr_list[0][3];
In that way you can use the computer's name to find its IP so you can connect to
any server you have the name of. Using this same technique you can also find
your own computers IP address. Most optional features can enhance the
performance and capabilities of your application. However, your application
should not fail if and when the optional features aren't available. For example,
generally you can get better bulk data throughput if you increase your input and
output buffer sizes with SO_RCVBUF and SO_SNDBUF. However, your
application should still be able to function with the default buffer sizes if your
attempts to change the buffer sizes fail (with the WSAENOPROTOOPT or
WSAEINVAL error).
You can (and should) avoid dependence on some optional features by

redesigning your application. For example, you shouldn't require a specific
amount of receive buffer space for your application to function. The doesn't
require WinSocks to support the SO_RCVBUF socket option, so you may not be
able to specify the system buffer space you get. For datastream sockets, you can
(and should) always allocate this buffer space in your application instead of
relying on system buffers. For datagram sockets, you'd have to redesign your
application protocol to use smaller datagrams.
Of course, there are some applications that cannot possibly function when a
Windows Sockets implementation doesn't support a particular optional feature.

For example, SOCK_RAW support is essential to many network monitoring type

applications, that use ICMP pings.
You should avoid using options that don't have standard API and behavior
definitions. For example, sharing sockets. The Windows Sockets specification
doesn't mention the possibility of sharing sockets, so socket sharing is an
optional feature by implication. The problem is that each WinSock implementation
that allows sharing may have different requirements. The SO_DEBUG socket
option is another optional feature without a description. The WinSock
specification doesn't describe SOCK_RAW or multicast support either, but
fortunately we can refer to the de facto standard defined by Berkeley Sockets.
Using a proprietary API extension like socket sharing is a step backward. You
limit your application, and you complicate it also. The v1.1 WinSock does not
define a standard way to identify individual WinSock implementations. There's no
standards committee to assign specific manufacturer identifiers like the IEEE
does for Ethernet and Token Ring network interface manufacturers. The
WSAData structure returned by WSAStartup() provides a location for vendor
specific information, but does not prescribe the format.
In any case, the programming convenience of application reliance on optional

features does not justify the incompatibility your application will suffer on different
WinSock implementations. For instance, an application that uses socket sharing
won't function on WinSocks that don't allow socket sharing, and may not function
on different WinSocks that do allow it. Since it is possible to write any type of
application without relying on proprietary features, we recommend that you avoid
proprietary features altogether for the benefit of portability. After all, the main
reason to use WinSock is to avoid proprietary APIs and take advantage of the
standard. SOCK_RAW is a type of socket that denotes a "raw socket" in the
same way that SOCK_STREAM denotes a datastream socket and
SOCK_DGRAM denotes a datagram socket. It's a macro (defined in
WINSOCK.H) that you use as the value for the type parameter in socket()
function. As section 2.6.10 of the v1.1 Windows Socket specification states, the

support of SOCK_RAW is not mandated. However, it is encouraged, so many

WinSock implementations do provide support (one notable exception are TCP/IP
stacks from Microsoft).
Unfortunately, the WinSock specification doesn't describe the acceptable syntax.

There are many variations of raw sockets, that correspond to different levels of
support. True raw sockets allow free reign of the network and transport protocol
headers.
Fortunately, few applications need low-level raw sockets support. Most

applications require the common variation that allows access to the ICMP
protocol to provide the ping facility, and this is what most WinSock
implementations provide. The Berkeley sockets API model for this "raw ICMP"
API is well-defined.

Implementation Of Different Ciphering Techniques :


IMPLEMENTATION

7.1 Applications & Discussion :

Modern encryption and decryption techniques make
practically impossible for an intruder to read messages over
communication channels.This chapter deals with various
applications and discussion on the result of Cryptology
Applications:
 Secure communication channels

 Authentication
 Digital signatures
 Computer user identification
Cryptology used for secure communications can be split into two categories,
secret_key and public_key.
SECRET_ KEY:
Only one key is used for both enciphering and deciphering the message
PUBLIC_KEY:
Different keys are used for enciphering and deciphering the message. This
means that who ever enciphers the message is unable to decipher.
AUTHENTICATION:
Any intruder may inject messages of his own into a communication
channel. Authentication is the detection of such forged encrypted messages.
DIGITAL SIGNATURES:
Authentication allows a receiver to be confident that the message
has been sent by the source, it does not enable him to convince others that the

message originated from the particular source. It is in such disputable cases that
digital signatures are of great help.
COMPUTER USER IDENTIFICATION:
These are the techniques used for enhancing the secrecy of computer
passwords. Whenever user seeks the service of a computer, how can the
computer make sure that the user is not forgetting a faults identity. The computer
does not need to know the actual passwords, it merely needs to be capable of
validating the given passwords.

7.2 Limitations :
Many of the famous ciphering techniques such as Ceaser
cipher, Beaufort, Vignere, Nihilist, Porta, Gronsfeld, etc., had been discussed in
this project. Because of many practical considerations, many more famous
ciphering techniques are not included such as polyfair alphabetic,
AMSCOciphering, DES algorithms, etc. These techniques needed greater
amount of time, memory space and above all greater understanding of the
methods. Algorithms such as Data Encryption Standard(DES)algorithms are
needed highly complex, and also need operations at the bit level. There are
.
 The code that has been made more interactive and informative.This is done
by allowing few status profiles With the inclusion of high performance
 Data profiles and graphs. The cryptologists can arrive at conclusions at a

quick rate. This is because, it is easier for humans to understand data that is
represented graphically than that which is numerics, and on the other hand
gives impressive look to the output.
 A major part of cryptologists work will be simplified if the software is smart

enough to understand text input and basing on the input it can suggest the
cryptologists which algorithm will be the most suitable. A similar idea can also
be implemented while deciphering the cipher text.
 One of most challenging work will be autoencipherment and

autodecipherment of given message. Many such algorithms available which
need very less effort to understand and implement. With the help of this, the
cryptologist’s job will be less mind-teasing. One very simple technique is to
generate, for instance, 20cipher text messages corresponding to the 20
different ciphering algorithms available automatically for the given plaintext

and selecting the one which is desirable. The same case also applies on
decipherment of ciphertext.
8. CONCLUSIONS :
This project helps effective communication between two parties without third
party being involed.This project helps confidential exchange of
information.Hackers cannot gain any knowledge about the text of users who use
these components. This project has few limitations and it can be expanded in the
future to a cosiderable extent.
Some of the important arena where the scope of expansion is identified has
been described in detail in this chapter. , many more famous ciphering
techniques are not included such as polyfair alphabetic, AMSCOciphering,
DES algorithms, etc. These techniques needed greater amount of time, memory
space and above all greater understanding of the methods. Algorithms such as
Data Encryption Standard(DES)algorithms are needed highly complex, and
also need operations at the bit level. This chapter will be of great usage or those
headers and enthusiasts who wish to
Select cryptology as their topic of interest.
 The complexity of ciphering a plaintext can be considerable raised complex

algorithms take much time for processing but generate highly reliable
ciphertext..These are the techniques used for enhancing the secrecy of
computer passwords.
 The source code of this project has been presented in C language; the
executable coded thus produced occupies large space and take more time to
execute when compared with assembly language.

 The transmission of data in our project can be done by using sockets.where

the communication is very fast.
9. FUTURE ENHANCEMENTS:
The future enhancements in this project can be

explained as follows.
 Highly complex and reliable error checking and correcting methods can be
applied. The result of such computations can be suffixed to the packet to be
transmitted. A similar check can be made after the receipt of the packet to
ensure the correctness.
 The transfer of data done using this project is slow and needs improvement.
The slowness is because of the protocol that every character must be
acknowledged. This may be avoided by introduction of 1KB or 2KB packets
without response after every character. But after every packet, the transfer will
be much more feasible. Even though there is a risk of loss of information, it
can be tackled easily by checking the checksum field and in case of corrupt
packet, a request for retransmission can be made.
 A file to be sent can be divided into number of packets with header,
checksum, etc. This helps in increasing the communication speed along with
greater reliability.
 This project works on the basis of simplex protocol for noisy channel. This can
be extended so as to implement much-sophisticated algorithms such as
sliding window protocols.
