Abstract: In this modern era, with the vast improvement in the field of internet, security is a major issue at hand. A lot of crimes, or to say, hacking is prevalent. This system "Safe Exchange of Encrypted Data (SEED)" handles sharing secret data between the sender and receiver in a cryptic manner by providing a new approach to symmetric encryption with ensured confidentiality, authenticity, integrity and availability of a secure communication, and protection against Man-in-the-Middle attacks even without a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) or endpoint certificates, in the unprotected network space. This system makes use of an efficient concept called ephemeral shared session key, which being a combination of public and private keys can only be generated at both ends and negates the need of having to transmit a symmetric key between the users. The text data is encrypted using a new symmetric key algorithm known as “Xenacrypt” which is more secure than any other existing symmetric key algorithms. This system provides integrity through an efficient algorithm which we have implemented to indicate data thefts by any malicious attacks or threats. Application of this crypto-system will h
