SECURITY IN COMPUTING ABSTRACT In this technical paper a session based symmetric key cryptographic technique‚ termed as SBSKCT‚ has been proposed. This proposed technique is very secure and suitable for encryption of large files of any type. SBSKCT considers the plain text as a string with finite no. of binary bits. This input binary string is broken down into blocks of various sizes (of 2k order where k = 3‚ 4‚ 5‚ ….). The encrypted binary string is formed by shifting
