| Sumario: | As physical markets are moving to cyberspace, the requirement for IT infrastructure for data storage purposes is growing exponentially. To secure sensitive data and information from third parties, data security in a system is of paramount importance. Encryption is amongst the most reliable methods to improve security and confidentiality. Encryption algorithms hide the actual representation of data in a manner that the original information is obtained only by using a key known as the decryption method. The goal of encryption is to protect data from hackers during transit and at rest. Even though encryption is practiced to translate information into an unintelligible format, we cannot be sure that classified data would not be accessible to cybercriminals who seem to be getting intelligent by the day. In this paper, we imbibe previous works in the field of Cloud security and the methodologies used to protect and secure these systems. Our aim is to use Enigma encryption and Data Encryption Standard algorithm for scrambling plain text to secure cipher text. SMTP mail services are used for reliable transmission. Furthermore, this paper gives particular emphasis to enigma encryption and its comparisons to various encryption and decryption algorithms. This project is designed for encrypting human correspondence only; thus, plain texts and cipher text messages consisting solely of the English letters A through Z, plus a few more characters can be encrypted and decrypted.
