Abstract

Background/Objectives: Today’s Technological world Information Security is an essential for commercial and legal trading, secrecy, truthfulness and non-reputability. The Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) has become one of the latest trends in the field of Public-Key Cryptography (PKC). ECC promises a faster, efficient and more secured. In this paper, the Standard ECC and proposed Improved ECC (IECC) are compared. Methods/Statistical Analysis: The proposed IECC algorithm is designed to be more challenging as the repetitive characters of the text are replaced with the different cipher text in each of the iteration and outperforms the standard ECC in terms of cipher text, encryption, decryption time and security. This algorithm helps to assure end to end encryption for Online Social Network (OSN) users. Findings: The statistical analysis approach reveals a significant feature that the cipher text of IECC does not correlated with the plain text. This approach is improved ECC reduces more security than the Standard ECC. The proposed method is concluded that implemented IECC is better than standard ECC. Applications/Improvements: Except the proposed algorithm used for this research, the possibility of using other algorithms are implemented in future work.
