Abstract

E-hailing and taxi services play a vital role in the transportation industry. It inadvertently also provides opportunities for malicious hackers to hack into e-hailing applications to gain private user information. With the increase in data breaches, there is a need for an encryption technique to increase the security level and assure the safety of users’ data. This study proposed SafeCar, a secure e-hailing application using the RSA algorithm. SafeCar is developed using ASP.NET language. Testing has been done to evaluate the security, input validation, and user satisfaction. The testing results showed that 50% had a very good security level, another 50% with a good security level, 100% user satisfaction, and 67% had very good input validation, with another 33% resulting in good input validation.
