In the development of 3G devices, all element of multimedia (text image audio and video) are used. To use this information, a channel of high bandwidth and more secured system is required. In this era, network security has become an issue of importance, on which lot of research is going on. We have proposed image encryption method using elliptic curve cryptography (ECC). RSA is too slow compared to ECC because ECC required smaller key size. In this method, every pixel of the original image is transformed into the elliptic curve point (Xm,Ym), these elliptic curve point convert into cipher image pixel. The resulting system gives comparatively small block size, high speed and high security.
