- This is a cryptography project. We designed and developed the new cryptographic algorithm called 3D Pythocypt algorithm. This is a young technique where key is used only at the decryption phase.
- The ideology of 3D Pythocrypt is to encrypt the plain text using the properties of 3D geometric shapes.
- We have considered volumetric formula of five different geometric shapes in this project.
- To securely transmit the cipher text obtained from the 3D pythocrypt algorithm, the cipher text is hidden inside the pixels of the image using LSB algorithm in Image Steganography.
- Although there are many Symmetric and Asymmetric Cryptographic systems available, a new cryptgraphic system is necessary in this social world.
- If we want to transmit huge amount of data from sender to receiver, then we can use Enigma as a stand alone application or as an api.
- The estimated amount of data that the algorithm takes as an input at a given time is around 2^(2147483647) that is approximately 646456993 characters.
- Subsequently, as we have used five different shapes, there are three possible key values for each shape. Hence, there are 15 possible combinations that can be achieved. This makes the algorithm more secure.
- Eventhough the operations to be performed are more, the time complexity of the 3D Pythocrypt algorithm is efficient than most of the current cryptosystems.

We would like to thank and dedicate this project to all the instructors who are in various platform guiding and helping the students to achieve their goal.
- The present version takes the raw plaintext from the command line, an option can be provided for the user to input the plaintext from a .txt file
- Furthermore, the application can be made robust which can encrypt any file formats such as .pdf, .doc, .xls etc.
