        abstract = {Secure and scalable data encryption and decryption have become crucial for protecting sensitive information. Traditional cryptographic systems often face trade-offs between security, efficiency, and scalability. This paper introduces a hybrid cryptographic system that leverages the strengths of both RSA and AES algorithms to address these challenges. RSA, a public-key cryptographic algorithm, offers robust security for key exchange, while AES, a symmetric-key algorithm, provides high-speed data encryption and decryption..The proposed system uses RSA for secure transmission of the AES session key, which is unique for each encryption process. Once securely exchanged, AES is employed for the actual encryption and decryption of files, significantly enhancing performance compared to purely asymmetric encryption. This hybrid approach enables secure file storage and transmission, adaptable to various data volumes and processing speeds. Experimental results demonstrate that the hybrid system achieves efficient encryption and decryption, reducing computational overhead while maintaining high levels of security. This solution is particularly well-suited for cloud storage, secure file-sharing platforms, and environments with high data volume and user demand, addressing the modern needs of scalable, secure file handling.},
