BLM49U Research Techniques 1
Fall semester 2010/2011

Title : Improving in encryption protocol using mathematical expressions.
Aim: The aim of this project is to develop the program which allows users to improve the security of their encryption applications.

Design Process: Students will develop the program in C, C++ or JAWA to improve the encryption security. Sample algorithm is following.

1. User will define how many characters he/she prefer in his/her password.
2. User will also set the mathematical expressions according to which the remote
values of characters will be calculated.
3. User sets up his/her remote values for each character.
4. During each log in to system remote values will be calculated by using local values entered by user.
5. If the calculated and remote values of characters are same a program allows the
users to log in to a system.

Implementation Process: This project will be implemented to access the student grades from web site.

Project stages: The project will be realized into three stages:

1) Research Stage: Students will investigate and study the existing techniques.
2) Design stage: Students will design the algorithms for improving the security of the passwords.
3) Implementation stage: Students will implement designed algorithms for concrete application, for example, for access to student grades.


Example: (for Project 2)
The program asks the user to enter the number of characters in password he/she wants. Suppose that the user enters 5. After that, the program asks the user to set up the mathematical expressions. Mathematical expressions may be same (for example, y=x+1) or different (for example y1=2x1, y2=2x2, ... , y5 = 2x5, etc) for each character. Then, user set up his/her remote values y for each character, for example y1R = 12, y2R = 8, y3R = 24, y4R = 30, y5R = 4. During each log in time, the user must enter suitable values of x for each character, for example x1 = 6, x2 = 4, x3 = 12, x4 = 15; x5 = 2, so that a program can calculate the remote values by using suitable mathematical expressions, for example, y1C = 2x1, y2C = 2x2, y3C = 2x3, y4C = 2x4, y5C = 2x5.If calculated and remote values of characters are same, the user is allowed to use the system.

And how far have you got on the code...can't help you without seeing what you have so far...
