Abstract:

The biggest issue in the current encryption field is to secure any kind of data such that it cannot be used or misused by an unknown person. The journey from the old coding methods like embossing on leather, paper, etc., to advanced cryptographic systems has shown how craving we humans are for secure communications. Advancements in encryption methods from the increasing ubiquitous availability of quantum technology have also presented new challenges and opportunities. MPE merges more advanced ciphers like the rotating operation and binary codes to enable some of the most secure methods for encrypting data. This research proposes the utilization of SDN to enhance the MPE algorithm for the purpose of bolstering network security. The flexibility of SDN permits dynamically variable network designs, thereby enhancing the management of operations for resource distribution. Integrating MPE encrypted into the SDN design guarantees safe transmission across several tiers, safeguarding private data, including medical records, payments, and organisational content, from unwanted access. The integration offers a resilient framework for the safe transmission of encrypted data, guaranteeing that collected information remains indecipherable in the event of a breach. Furthermore, MPE's advanced rotating and cipher key procedures bolster the encryption's resistance, making it impervious to advancing technical threats. The results indicate that the integration of MPE with SDN markedly enhances network security and is a viable solution to forthcoming encryption difficulties.
