Generic key Generation Algorithm using Weighted Graphs

Abstract

Data is of all sorts, ranging from all pertaining entertainment to national defense. There is a highly pressing need in today’s “online” world to maintain confidentiality of data. The cost of revelation of highly sensitized data far exceeds the cost to establish and maintain security measures. Disclosure of confidential data leads to cataclysmic losses to the victim enterprise. Not just a company’s finances, even national security could be threatened by lax security. In order to keep our information discreet, we need to be on top of things by implementation of stronger encryption systems. On referring several encryption algorithms it was found that most encryption algorithms had a common trait that they used a single fixed key for entire data encryption. Modifying this peculiarity, our key generation algorithm strengthens any encryption algorithm by generating multiple keys.
