Abstract

This study examines the vital role of cryptography in maintaining data security, particularly with the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), in light of the increasing reliance on the Internet for communication and data sharing. It emphasizes key elements of data security, including confidentiality, authentication, and integrity, while identifying the limitations of traditional ciphers, which are becoming progressively vulnerable to various cyber threats. To tackle these issues, the research proposes a new hybrid encryption algorithm that combines the Polybius Cipher and the Vigenère Cipher, leveraging AI and ANN to enhance complexity and resistance to cryptanalysis. The proposed method involves a two-step encryption process, where the output from the Vigenère Cipher acts as the key for the Polybius Cipher, producing a final ciphertext that is much more resistant to common attacks. ANN plays a critical role in dynamically generating and optimizing cipher parameters, designing custom Polybius grids, and analyzing character frequency to derive keys or decryption methods, further enhancing the system’s resilience against vulnerabilities. The implementation of this methodology, achieved through a Python program, demonstrates its ability to address the weaknesses of traditional ciphers. The findings reveal that this hybrid encryption system, strengthened by AI and ANN, not only resolves the individual limitations of the ciphers but also delivers a reliable solution for secure communication in sensitive fields such as military and law enforcement. This study emphasizes the need for ongoing advancements in cryptographic methods, particularly through the integration of AI and ANN, to address the growing demands for robust data protection in an increasingly connected world.
