Thanks to these technologies, people can do their jobs in a virtual environment nonspatially and rapidly. However, the security of the data people share using these technologies is serious concern. In this study, a method to provide security of the data shared on the internet is proposed. This method is developed by integrating smart card technology and encryption techniques. In the application section, method and the software developed to operate the method are defined in details. With the application developed, secure data encryption was realized, which is the aim of the study. It was found out that it can be used in various fields from the security of computers and files in local networks to on-line messaging and e-trade.
