IMPLEMENTATION OF ELLIPTIC CURVE CRYPTOGRAPHY ON TEXT AND IMAGE
Megha Kolhekar, Cláudio H. Albuquerque Rodrigues, Navi Mumbai · 2011
ABSTRACT- In recent years, Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) has attracted the attention of researchers and product developers due to its robust mathematical structure and highest security compared to other existing algorithms like RSA (Rivest Adleman and Shameer Public key Algorithm). It is found to give an increased security compared to RSA for the same key-size or same security as RSA with less key size [1]. In this paper, we give a brief background of key exchange and encryption/decryption using ECC. We then explain implementation of these algorithms on text documents. We have used C++ as the tool for implementation. Index terms- ECC, Image encryption, Key Exchange, Text encryption
