A novel development to encrypt data communication under t-intuitionistic fuzzy environment

The field of cryptography has grown significantly with the advent of information and communication technologies due to the increasing complexity of cyber threats and rising security requirements. This evolution has come with the creation of new cryptosystems and improvements to current ones. This study is the first to explore the RSA approach in the framework of t-intuitionistic fuzzy subgroups. This technique makes group-based cryptographic operations safer when there are unclear relationships and hesitations. This supports the complex and uncertain nature of subgroup membership, allowing for much more significant representations of the degrees of belonging, non-belonging, and hesitancy for the group elements along parameter ’t’. The t-intuitionistic fuzzy RSA technique employs a t-intuitionistic fuzzy subgroup to address cryptosystem ambiguity, fuzziness, and imprecision. Consequently, inaccurate cryptographic data is more effectively represented, manipulated, and protected. Furthermore, this technique enhances the current level of fuzzy cryptography. The t-intuitionistic fuzzy RSA algorithms are of theoretical and practical value, as they significantly contribute towards developing fuzzy cryptography, fuzzy algebraic structures, and decision support systems. In this paper, the notions of t-intuitionistic fuzzy numbers and triangular t-intuitionistic fuzzy numbers are introduced. A new RSA cryptosystem based on a t-intuitionistic fuzzy subgroup is proposed in which the plaintext and the ciphertext are obtained in terms of t-intuitionistic fuzzy numbers and triangular t-intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. In addition, the significance of the concept of the t-intuitionistic fuzzy subgroup is highlighted as a suitable alternative tool to secure the data under consideration. In addition, the practical effect of the proposed methods is also investigated in this study. A mathematical mechanism is presented to implement the t-intuitionistic fuzzy RSA algorithm. Finally, a comparative analysis of the developed technique is presented with some existing methods to showcase the applicability and superiority of the recently developed method.
