This research focuses on applications of end-to-end encrypted Short Message Service (SMS) using hybrid encryption algorithm. In end-to-end encrypted short message service (SMS), messages are encrypted as the message or data travel between devices. The unreadable message can only be decrypted with a secret key on the recipient’s device. Hybrid encryption is a mode of encryption that merges two or more encryption system. The research methodologies used are Structured System Analysis and Design Methodology (SSADM) and Object Oriented Analysis and Design Methodology (OOADM). With the help of the two techniques-Rivest-Shamir Adleman (RSA) and Data Encryption Standard (DES) Algorithm employed; integrity, confidentiality, authentication and security of messages were achieved. The software was developed using Java programming language.
