Abstract
It is important to pay attention to develop our security systems, due to the increase in cyberattacks and the development of their methods and the work to develop quantum computers capable of penetrating the solution of complex equations of encryption algorithms. The need to develop protection methods has emerged in line with the development of hackers to ensure the security and safety of users' data. In this research, work was done on the modern Li-Fi technology based on comparing the values with Kim's model and a distance of more than 13 km was reached in the fresh air. This technology provides security and privacy inside rooms because it sends signals through light, so the signal cannot be modified from the outside. However, the threat remains through the transmission medium. Therefore, a hybrid algorithm was created from chacha20 with a key size of 256 and RSA with a key size of 2048, which guarantees us a high level of security, making it immune to threats. The chacha20 algorithm provides encryption speed and security, while the RSA algorithm increases the level of security of the algorithm, as the total time taken to encrypt data from the sender and decrypt it from the receiver was 0.036 seconds. This ensures high and fast performance for this hybrid algorithm.
Reason for Retraction
This article has been retracted at the request of the Editorial Office, following an internal investigation conducted in accordance with the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) Retraction Guidelines.
The investigation identified serious concerns affecting the integrity and reliability of the published work. Specifically, one or more of the following issues were confirmed:
-
Undisclosed use of computer-generated text and/or data, in which substantial portions of the content were produced using algorithmic or artificial intelligence–based tools without transparent disclosure, contrary to the journal's authorship and transparency policies.
-
Compromised peer-review process, indicating irregularities that undermine the validity, independence or authenticity of the review procedure.
-
Inappropriate or misleading citations, including references that are irrelevant, improperly used, or appear to artificially inflate citation metrics, thereby distorting the scholarly record.
-
Authorship-related concerns, including the addition of new author(s) at a later stage of the publication process without adequate justification, documentation, or transparent disclosure, raising unresolved questions regarding author contributions, responsibility, and compliance with the journal's authorship criteria.
The Editorial Office determined that these issues significantly compromise the scientific integrity of the article, and that correction alone would be insufficient to address the concerns. Retraction was therefore deemed necessary to maintain the accuracy and trustworthiness of the scholarly record.
The authors were informed of the findings and the retraction decision. While the authors do not respond to this retraction, the journal has proceeded with the retraction in line with COPE guidance, which permits retraction without author consent when editorial integrity is at risk.
This retraction is issued to alert readers that the findings and conclusions of the article should not be relied upon. The original article will remain accessible for the sake of the scholarly record, but it will be clearly marked as retracted.
Apologies are offered to readers of the journal that this was not detected during the submission process.
