Data and Information Security in Modern World by using Elliptic Curve Cryptography
Obaidur Rahaman · 2017
Data and Information Security has become very important in today’s modern world, as a result of these various methods are adopted to bypass it. With the advent of the internet, security has became a major concern and the history of security allows a better understanding of the emergence of security technology. The internet structure itself allowed for many security threats to occur. The mechanism of the internet, when modified can reduce the possible attacks that can be sent across the network. By knowing the attack methods, allows for the appropriate security to emerge. Many modern spare secure themselves from the internet by means of Elliptic Curve Cryptography, Text Encryption and Decryption process and Card Shuffling Process. It provides higher level of security with lesser key size compared to other Cryptographic techniques. A new technique has been proposed in this paper where the classic technique of mapping the characters to affine points in the elliptic curve has been removed. The corresponding ASCII values of the plain text are paired up. The paired values serve as input for the Elliptic curve cryptography. This new technique has been avoided for the costly operation of mapping and the need to share the common lookup table between the sender and the receiver. The algorithm is designed in such a way that it can be used to encrypt or decrypt any type of script with defined ASCII values.
