Abstract
This paper presents a novel idea of achieving higher degree of privacy for e-mails using Chebyshev polynomials for ‘Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) (Kenneth and Ballou, 2005)’. The strength of polynomials lies in their chaotic properties which are potentially suitable for cryptography. A brief discussion on how these polynomials are helpful in providing good security is presented in this paper and the security strengths are evaluated.
