based on symmetric key cryptography where sender and receiver of message use the same key for encryption and decryption.But, to use the same key, sender and receiver must share the key in advance. And if their locations are different than there is risk in transmission of the key. Later in 1976,a cryprosystem,which is known as Diffie-hellman key-exchange, was published by Whitefield Diffie and Martin Hellman and concept behind the cryptosystem is known as public key encryption. In public key cryptosystem, each
