Secure file encryption has become increasingly important in various disciplines, including finance, healthcare, and government, where protecting sensitive data is paramount. The proposed framework aims to meet this requirement by developing an encryption and decryption framework for files that employ Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC), a modern and practical cryptographic technique. The framework will employ ECC algorithms for key generation, encryption, and decryption, which offer several advantages over conventional methods such as RSA and AES. ECC provides equivalent security with shortened key lengths, resulting in faster encryption and decryption, decreased computational burden, and optimized resource utilization. A crucial aspect of the proposed framework is its user-friendly interface, making it easy for users to manage encrypted files. In addition, the framework will include key management and validation mechanisms to ensure the security and authenticity of encryption keys, thereby preventing unauthorized access to encrypted files. The proposed framework will be rigorously tested on a local machine and hosted on a server in the cloud to ensure its dependability and resiliency in real-world scenarios. The framework&s;s efficacy will be determined based on the encryption and decryption times for various file sizes. The outcomes will demonstrate the efficacy and efficiency of the proposed framework, demonstrating that it provides superior performance compared to conventional algorithms.
