Secure Application of Elliptic Curve Public Cryptosystem in the E - mail System
Mu Ke · 2004
Since the introduction of elliptic curves cryptography by Koblitz and Miller in 1985,the potential for the use of this public cryptosystem has been more and more recognized. For the data security of Internet, a quick and secure system should be built. The concepts of elliptic curves and their related mathematic knowledge were introduced, and the elliptic discrete logarithm problem (ECDLP) and ELGAMAL system were discussed. And then a secure hybrid E - mail system combining asymmetric and symmetric encryption was designed, the availability and practicability of this method was proved to achieve the security of network transmission.
