Abstract

Cryptography comes from the Greek word kryptos which means hidden. The aim of our research is to provide secrecy for the data during transmission. In this we discuss about the qwerty cipher algorithm, its merits and demerits. The existing qwerty algorithm is based on the use of a keyboard which is not much secured. We have proposed an enhancement to the existing algorithm by using a diagonalized qwerty algorithm which is more secure and highly difficult for the intruder to understand or decrypt the cipher text, even if it is decrypted the result would be gibberish.
