Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Symmetry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs).

This paper presents three novel encryption and decryption schemes based on graph theory that aim to improve security and error resistance in communication networks. The novelty of this work lies in the application of complete bipartite graphs in two of the schemes and the Cartesian product of graphs in the third, representing a unique approach to cryptographic algorithm development. Unlike traditional cryptographic methods, these graph-based schemes use structural properties of graphs to achieve robust encryption, providing greater resistance to attacks and corruption. Each scheme is illustrated with detailed examples that show how the algorithms can be successfully implemented. The algorithms are written in standard mathematical notation, making them adaptable for machine implementation and scalable for real-world use. The schemes are also rigorously analyzed and compared in terms of their temporal and spatial complexities, using Big O notation. This comprehensive evaluation focuses on their effectiveness, providing valuable insights into their potential for secure communication in modern networks. Full article
