Data security becomes an important thing in the computer era nowadays, especially in digital lock. Because of easy to use, there is a lot of digital locks connected to Android smartphone. However, the security of digital lock is lower if commands and passwords exchange is unprotected. That is why algorithm combination concept is important to be applied. Vigenere Cipher and XOR Cipher algorithm combination is simple to be applied, where both are symmetric cryptography algorithm which has advantage in short calculation time, so the plaintext processing can run quickly. To implement the cryptography algorithm combination concept, a digital lock prototype is also needed. One of the best microcontroller for prototyping is Arduino UNO. It can communicate with other devices through Bluetooth connection especially Android smartphone if connected to Bluetooth module. The Arduino UNO based digital lock will communicate with Android smartphone via an application in the smartphone. It is found that Vigenere Cipher and XOR Cipher algorithm combination, and also other support algorithms can improve the secrecy of communication between devices in the digital lock system.
