Enhanced cryptographic techniques using elliptic curves and matrix translation methods for information security

Abstract

Data communication over the Internet is a great revolution in newlinecommunication technology. Online applications such as railway reservation, newlineonline wallet transactions, mobile banking transactions and online gas newlinebooking are carried out in a single application through the wireless newlinecommunication technology. Furthermore, many confidential data newlinecommunication including military data exchange, data communication newlinethrough social media, etc. emphasize the need for security in newlineresource-constrained environments such as wireless sensor networks to newlineprovide such essential services securely. The security of communication can newlinebe ensured by effective key management techniques along with efficient newlineencryption algorithms. newlineElliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) provides a suitable newlinecryptographic technique for providing security on data communications in newlinewireless sensor networks because of its key sizes and efficiency in the newlineprovision of security. Moreover, effective key management techniques that newlineare compatible with the calculations for cryptographic algorithms are newlinenecessary to meet the increasing speed and security requirements in current newlineapplications. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the key size of the public key newlineencryption protocols for fast key calculation and effective encryption. In newlineaddition, the key generation process should include the computation of newlineadditional functions to improve the communication security. Therefore, newlineimportant functions in mathematical theory have been used in this research newlinework to create the most secure keys enhance the security strength of Elliptic newlineCurve Crypto system. newline
