Abstract
In this paper an algorithm for data security within computer networks is in troduced. The algorithm is based on a public key cipher system and Diophant ine equations. In order to reduce the possibility of message length predict ion, the algorithm is improved by using dummy bits technique. Moreover, som e mathematical rules are applied to limit the length of the enciphering key . (C) 1998 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
