Recently, the mobile industry has experienced an extreme increment in number of its users. The GSM network with the greatest worldwide number of users succumbs to several security vulnerabilities. Security is a burning and intelligent issue. It will always remain relevant as it is important in all types of applications. GSM Security flaws have been identified several years ago. Some of these flaws have been fixed by the 3GPP but others are left to discussion. Most of the RSA -- based hardware and software products and standards require big key length for higher security level. In this paper we will be focusing on the comparison of working procedure of elliptic curve cryptography and RSA algorithm in GSM network to how it's a better promise for a faster and more secure method of encryption in comparison to the current standards in the Public-Key Cryptographic algorithms of RSA.
