Abstract
Transfer of data over a network is one of the most endangered things to look for. As the cases of data leaks and theft are increasing exponentially, there is a need of a secure gateway that can prevent the data from getting misused. In group-oriented application such as video conferencing and multi-player gaming, it is necessary that only the trusted member can access the data and that too in a confidential manner in such a way that the prowler is not able to modify or ingress it. The Diffie–Hellman algorithm was one of the first and foremost schemes used for key exchange using a symmetric key encryption technique. The proposed algorithm is an advanced version of the traditional Diffie–Hellman algorithm that can be used efficiently by increasing the time complexity of the current by a fair margin thus making it difficult for the intruder to decrypt the common key.
