Nowadays the role of Information systems in our life has greatly increased, which has become one of the biggest challenges for citizens, organizations and governments. Every single day we are becoming more and more dependent on information and communication technology (ICT). A major goal of information security is to find the best ways to mitigate the risks. The context-role and perimeter protection approaches can reduce and prevent an unauthorized penetration to protected zones and information systems inside the zones. The result of this work can be useful for the security system analysis and optimization of their organizations.

Public key cryptography or asymmetric keys are widely used in the implementation of data security on information and communication systems. The RSA algorithm (Rivest, Shamir, and Adleman) is one of the most popular and widely used public key cryptography because of its less complexity. RSA has two main functions namely the process of encryption and decryption process. Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) is a digital signature algorithm that serves as the standard of Digital Signature Standard (DSS). DSA is also included in the public key cryptography system. DSA has two main functions of creating digital signatures and checking the validity of digital signatures. In this paper, the authors compare the computational times of RSA and DSA with some bits and choose which bits are better used. Then combine both RSA and DSA algorithms to improve data security. From the simulation results, the authors chose RSA 1024 for the encryption process and added digital signatures using DSA 512, so the messages sent are not only encrypted but also have digital signatures for the data authentication process.
