File encryption is an easy means of securing personal or business data protection. The RSA and AES representative encryption algorithms are not capable of satisfying the criteria of file encryption reliability and security when used separately. A hybrid encryption algorithm mixing AES and RSA algorithms is suggested in this paper to overcome the above issues in order to solve file encryption performance and security problems. The experimental results suggest that the RSA and AES hybrid encryption algorithm can not only encrypt files, but also provide the benefits of efficiency and protection of the algorithm.
