Abstract—The present Covid 19 pandemic has created a destruction towards the physical meet
and physical talk among the people all over the world. All the communications like social,
business, personal including secret are done by using digital techniques. Digitalization has
become mandatory for all types of transmissions. Secure communication of secret information
has become a hard task due to the extensive growth of wireless networks. It is essential for the
service providers to add on extra security level for the messages in their transmission from one
place to the other. The task of providing the security is done by encryption technique alone.
Applied graph theory plays a crucial role in encryption technique as it has widespread special
features equipped with easy and effective representation. The present paper explores a
symmetric encryption technique using Eulerian circuits of weighted Euler graphs and simple
logical operations.
Index Terms— Euler Graph, Euler Circuit, Encryption, Decryption.
I. INTRODUCTION
A science of communication of secret information with protection in the presence of a harmful third party is
cryptography. In the present era of extensive and thoughtless use of the internet as a basic means of
communication creates a threat of hacking and stealing the secret information in the transmission medium. So,
concealing the secret information illegible to unauthorized persons is most required aspect in communication
network. Graph theory, a major part of applied mathematics has a wide role in the history of cryptography. Many
complex problems in our day-to-day life can be represented and solved by graph structures as it provides simple
and clear pictorial representation. The flexible properties of graph structures give an additional strength to
cryptosystems. The history of cryptography shows diverse graph theory applications in the encryption process.
The Relationship between graph theory and cryptography is very interesting.
Graph Theory
Euler’s Theory:
A connected graph containing a Eulerian circuit is called the Euler graph [1].
Eulerian Circuit:
A circuit which touches every edge of the graph exactly one and returns to the same vertex is known as Eulerian
circuit. If all the vertices of the graph are of even degree, then the graph is called as Euler Graph.
Euler Path:
A graph meeting every edge of the graph and coming back to the same vertex is called the Euler Path.
