Hybrid cryptosystem for image file using elgamal and double playfair cipher algorithm
Open accessAbstract
In this paper, we present an implementation of an image file encryption using hybrid cryptography. We chose ElGamal algorithm to perform asymmetric encryption and Double Playfair for the symmetric encryption. Our objective is to show that these algorithms are capable to encrypt an image file with an acceptable running time and encrypted file size while maintaining the level of security. The application was built using C# programming language and ran as a stand alone desktop application under Windows Operating System. Our test shows that the system is capable to encrypt an image with a resolution of 500 × 500 to a size of 976 kilobytes with an acceptable running time.

Classical hybrid cryptosystems combine a symmetric image cipher with asymmetric key transport such as ElGamal, ECC, Hill cipher variants or RSA, all of which are broken in polynomial time by Shor's algorithm.
“Second, classical hybrid cryptosystems [32][33][34][35][36][37][38] consist of a combination of a symmetric image cypher and asymmetric key transport, which is either ElGamal, ECC, Hill cypher variants or RSA; all of which are the weakest links broken in polynomial time by Shor's algorithm.”

The Introduction and Implementation sections describe a hybrid image cryptosystem that encrypts the image with symmetric Double Playfair and its keys with asymmetric ElGamal; Related Works also gives RSA as a key-encryption example. The paper does not describe Hill cipher variants as asymmetric key transport or say that these schemes are broken in polynomial time by Shor’s algorithm. Page numbers were not available in our copy.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
