In this era, where communication over technology has become vital, the reliability of the same is of utmost need. Cryptography ensures confidentiality, user authentication, and integrity of data. One of the techniques is the Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC). Several classical ciphers are designed based on mathematical backgrounds. In this paper, we focus on combining Affine Cipher and ECC to magnify the security provided by an Affine cipher. Hence a skewed Affine cipher that uses multiple keys over Elliptic curves is proposed. The keys chosen are derived from the points on the specified Elliptic curve, which forms a cyclic group or a cyclic subgroup.
