Abstract Hy-Com Cryptographic technique is an acronym for Hybrid Compressive Cryptographic technique. This research uses two main cryptographic techniques like Symmetric key cryptography and Asymmetric key cryptography and with a lossless compression algorithm. The Symmetric Key cryptographic technique uses single key for both encryption and decryption. The Asymmetric key cryptographic technique uses two separate keys for encryption and decryption. Advanced Encryption Standards (AES) algorithm is used for imparting Symmetric key cryptographic technique and Rivest-Shamir-Adleman(RSA) algorithm is used for imparting Asymmetric key cryptographic technique. The compression algorithm is used to compress the encrypted text before sending it. This reduces the size of the encrypted file and abets in fast file transmission. Therefore by compression of the encrypted file increases the efficiency of data transmission. Compression technique is of two types, lossy compression and lossless compression. This research deals with the lossless compression. The plain text is first encrypted using Symmetric technique. The symmetric key which is used to encrypt the data is encrypted using Asymmetric technique. The encrypted key and the encrypted text are compressed and sent to the receiver. The integrity of the data that is transmitted can be checked by subjecting the plaintext to the MD5 Hash algorithm. The Message Digest obtained by this process is also encrypted using Asymmetric technique. The public key of the RSA technique is also encrypted before transmitting to the other end. This makes the Hy-Com technique more robust. The key is encrypted using the rail fence technique, in which the plaintext is written down as a sequence of diagonals and then read off as a sequence of rows. This increases the security in the key distribution. Therefore the sender sends the compressed modes of cipher text of the message, cipher text of the key and cipher text of the message digest. The receiver uncompresses the file first and decrypts it. The original file is checked with the digest. If both are equal the message is accepted else rejected.
