A cryptosystem for database security based on TSFS algorithm

Abstract EN

Implementation of TSFS (Transposition, Substitution, Folding, and Shifting) algorithm as an encryption algorithm in database security had limitations in character set and the number of keys used.

The proposed cryptosystem is based on making some enhancements on the phases of TSFS encryption algorithm by computing the determinant of the keys matrices which affects the implementation of the algorithm phases.

These changes showed high security to the database against different types of security attacks by achieving both goals of confusion and diffusion.
