Cryptic Mining: Apriori Analysis of Parameterized Automatic Variable Key based Symmetric Cryptosystem (original) (raw)

This paper presents enhanced model of security of symmetric key based cryptosystem[1]. The enhancement of model by variable keys and key exchange using parameters only approach is also presented. The issue of fixing up the minimum length of key for AVK is also a big challenge in AVK model. Selection of shorter key length leads to vulnerability/compromise of system, on the other side, larger then optimum key size would involve unnecessary overheads and wastage of resources[2]. Further, ensuring high protection against malicious attack, is achieved through IDS software tools, that attempts to detect and prevent the system from malicious network users. Apart from these tools, various network security applications using pattern mining to extract the threat from cipher log. Faster and more efficient pattern matching algorithm to overcome the performance issue is demonstrated in[3], parameterized model of automatic variable key. Presented parameters only exchanged instead of key, has been analyzed using association rule discovery from hacker's perspective. This paper applies apriori method to investigate association rule among parameters used for generation of key and prediction of future key in the cryptosystem based on parameter only communication for AVK model[11]. In other words, the paper attempts to answer, How much the method is secure against association rule for future parameter prediction?
