Secure hybrid mode-based cryptosystem

Problem statement: A cryptosystem provides two parties; a sender and a receiver to communicate interactively via an insecure channel in which, the sender is able to send any confidential message, document or data in a disguised form to the intended receiver. Upon receiving the disguised message, the...
