Abstract:
The idea of information security lead to the evolution of cryptography. In other words, cryptography is the science of keeping information secure. It involves encryption and decryption of messages. The core of cryptography lies in the keys involved in encryption and decryption and maintaining the secrecy of the keys. Another important factor is the key strength, i.e. the difficulty in breaking the key and retrieving the plain text. There are various cryptographic algorithms. In this project we use Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) over Galois field. This system has been proven to be stronger than known algorithms like RSA, DSA, etc. Our aim is to build an efficient elliptic curve cryptosystem for secure transmission or exchange of confidential emails over a public network.
