AN INTELLIGENT SECURITY AGENT FOR A RELIABLE CIPHER SYSTEM USING PINGPONG

Abstract

An intelligent security agent for a reliable cipher system using a PingPong cipher is proposed. The system contains a security agent for security managements and services. The agent includes an intelligent selection of many security features: encryption processing speeds, encryption methods, encryption algorithms, synchronization methods, network interfaces, user authentications, security-bit levels, the size of synchronization patterns, etc. Furthermore, encryption algorithms with a PingPong-256, -192 and -128 for data confidentiality and a synchronization generator and detector with a SYNPAT-128, -112, -96, -80, and -64 for system stabilization are designed and analyzed.

Keywords:

• Security agent
