Elliptic Curve Cryptography: faster and lighter encryption protocol for cloud computing environment

  Jagadish Thiruvayipati

Cloud computing environment is not fully secure. Several promising approaches are introduced to resolve the security issues of cloud computing. However,there are lots of vulnerabilities, which need to be solved.On the other side, the cloud applications are being constantly increased that creates typical situation for the client to keep track of their confidential data stored on the cloud. To secure the cloud- computing environment,we introduced novel elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) based on smaller key encryption method. In ECC security rests on the discrete logarithm problem over the points on the elliptic curves.Elliptic curve discrete logarithmic problem takes full exponential time whereas RSA takes sub-exponential time. By this we can use smaller parameters in ECC. The same level of security afforded by an RSA-based system with a large modulus can be achieved with a much smaller elliptic curve group.
