Abstract: Smartphone has become the most typical and popular mobile device in recent years. It combines the functionality of mobile phone and PDA. Besides, it provides many computers’ functionality, Middleware as processing, communication, data storage and etc. It also provides many computers’ service, such as web browser, portable media player, video call, GPS, Wi-Fi and etc. This paper provides an effective mechanism for securing the communication between the RJSON data from the middleware and back using various secure cryptographic algorithms implemented in JavaScript. Security plays a vital role in today’s mobile world. There are security issues like sniffing of data while accessing information through open channel. Cryptographic techniques play an important role in protecting communication links and data, since access to data can be limited to those who hold the proper key. This paper discusses different cryptographic techniques available in lightweight RJSON format to securely transfer information in a network by an android smartphone. A native android application Sadelok Newspaper is used to securely send data using AES, 3Des and Blowfish and compare them. The paper describes and compares the JavaScript based cryptographic techniques on the JavaScript Object Notation, for faster and efficient encryption of data that is suitable for use in smartphones.
