%X This paper proposes a cryptosystem (encrypting/decryption) for XML data using RSA (Rivest, Shamir, and Adleman) with some form of shift ciphering scheme. Such a system is designed to achieve some of security aspects such as confidentiality, authentication, and integrity, and non-repudiation. We used XML data as an experimental work. The implementation is done using VB.NET. Since, we have used RSA with some padding scheme; it is extremely difficult to factor large numbers. The property of shift ciphering scheme increases the cost of crypto-analysis. The results are very much satisfactory for securing XML data. We found the estimation required time to break our generated keys is 2502 years, which is sufficient against any brute-force attacks.
