Abstract: In order to provide authentication, confidentiality and security to the transmitted data the universal technique used is cryptography. Cryptography is the science of manipulating the data such that it is made unreadable for the unintended readers. It is the practice and study of hiding information. Here in this paper data is encrypted using Armstrong numbers on which RGB colours are used for authentication and key generation is done using random prime number generator thereby making use of both Armstrong numbers and prime numbers which also provides better security. Further, this encryption-decryption algorithm has already been implemented taking a 3-digit Armstrong number i.e. on a 3X3 matrix , but in this paper we would implement it taking a 4-digit Armstrong number , thereby providing security of data on a higher level.
Keywords: Data Security, Armstrong numbers, RGB colours, random prime number generator.
