 Abstract

This project focuses on developing a machine learning system to classify cryptographic

algorithms based on their hash values. Cryptography plays a critical role in securing
digital communication, and identifying the algorithm used in encryption helps enhance
the system’s security and auditing. The system extracts features from cryptographic
hash values and uses a Random Forest classifier to predict the underlying algorithm
with high accuracy. The proposed solution automates the classification process and
ensures faster, more reliable analysis of cryptographic data. The system can be applied
in various areas, including cybersecurity and digital forensics.

Introduction

 IOT based Fire Detection System Using Image Processing

Cryptography is an essential tool in ensuring the privacy, integrity, and authenticity of

data in today's digital age. The use of hash functions is central to many cryptographic algorithms,
including digital signatures and message integrity checks. Identifying the algorithm behind a
cryptographic process can aid in security auditing, research, and reverse engineering. Existing
systems either rely on manual inspection or slow, inefficient methods for algorithm classification.

This project proposes an automated system to classify cryptographic algorithms based on

their hash values using machine learning. The Random Forest algorithm is employed to learn
patterns from extracted hash features, enabling rapid and accurate predictions.

Literature Survey

 IOT based Fire Detection System Using Image Processing

2.1 Fundamental Concepts

1.Data Preprocessing: Load the dataset of hash values and perform necessary
preprocessing steps to extract useful features from the data.
2.Feature Extraction: Implement a feature extraction function that processes
each hash value and extracts relevant cryptographic features.
3.Model Training: Use a Random Forest classifier for training on the
extracted features.
4.Prediction Module: This module takes new input hash values and predicts
the corresponding cryptographic algorithm.
5.User Interface: A simple web-based interface using Flask where users can
upload hash values for classification.

2.2 Existing system

Current cryptographic algorithm classification methods often rely on:

 Manual Analysis: Human experts analyzing cryptographic data, which is

time-consuming and error-prone.

 Heuristic Techniques: These involve predefined rules for determining the

algorithm, which may lack scalability and flexibility.

 Pre-built Tools: There are tools available for cryptographic analysis, but they
lack automation and efficient real-time processing.

Disadvantages of Existing System

 Time-consuming: Manual analysis of cryptographic algorithms is slow and

labor-intensive.

 Prone to errors: Human errors can occur, leading to misclassifications or

missed insights.

 Lack of scalability: Existing tools cannot easily adapt to new cryptographic

algorithms or variations of existing ones.

 Low efficiency: Current methods may not provide real-time results,

making them unsuitable for large-scale applications

3.3 Cost Estimation

This study is being conducted to determine the system's economic impact on

the organisation. The amount of money the corporation can invest in system
research and development is limited. It is necessary to justify spending. As a result,
the produced system came in under budget, which was possible because the
majority of the technologies used were freely available. Only the customised items
have to be bought.
