ln this work, the researchers consider the concept of Information Security by the application of firewall and encryption techniques. Also, the problem of explicitly exposing infonnation in transit is discussed. We developed several algorithms. Among the algorithms are those of random sequence and non-arithmetic sequence using modified generators for the problem to secure information that may pass through intermediate computers linked in the Internet. Some of these algorithms employ modified random generators in a crucial way. In all, four applications are presented. Firstly, we show that generated random integers can represent the letters of the alphabets in the encrypted information. This makes it possible for the encrypted information not to be easily decrypted by cryptanalysts. Secondly, it is shown that before encrypting information, such informat on is split into parts, and each part encrypted separately using a different keyword. Before sending the encrypted information out, the various parts are combined into a single stream. Thirdly, it is also shown that the optimal number of splits of information to encrypt could be obtained, and result proves that the more the number of splits, the more complex the information becomes to decrypt. Finally, our research finding shows that encrypted information may be embedded in a computed decimal digit and only revealed when corresponding decimal digit is computed by the information recipient.
