scholarly journals Encryption and Decryption of data using Elliptical Curve Cryptography

Aadhaar database is the world's largest biometric database system. The security of Aadhaar database plays a major role. In order to secure such huge database, an encryption and decryption algorithm has been proposed in this paper. Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) is a public key cryptography which is used to provide high security to those databases. The Aadhaar database contains individual personal information as well as their biometric identities. ECC is widely used for providing security to all kinds of data. ECC has smaller key size, fast computation, high throughput compared to other cryptographic algorithms. The data’s present in database are converted into their corresponding Pixel or ASCII values. After that the encryption process is done with the help of public key, private key, generation points and plain text. After the encryption process, the encrypted coordinates can be mapped with the generated points and from that corresponding ASCII value for text, pixel value for image can be retrieved. Then, the alphabet which is corresponding to ASCII will be displayed so that the cipher text can be viewed. This encrypted data is stored in the database. In order to retrieve the original data decryption process using ECC is carried out. In decryption process, receiver’s private key and cipher coordinates which is retrieved from encryption process are used. Therefore, the personal details of an individual can be retrieved with the presence of that particular person who only knows that private key. So, the hackers will not be able to retrieve the database of any individual just by knowing their Aadhaar ID. The proposed work is implemented in the MATLAB software. The Performance metrics like PSNR, Similarity, Correlation Coefficient, NPCR and UACI has been done for analysis.

Cryptography is an essential and effective method for securing information’s and data. Several symmetric and asymmetric key cryptographic algorithms are used for securing the data. Symmetric key cryptography uses the same key for both encryption and decryption. Asymmetric Key Cryptography also known as public key cryptography uses two different keys – a public key and a private key. The public key is used for encryption and the private key is used for decryption. In this paper, certain asymmetric key algorithms such as RSA, Rabin, Diffie-Hellman, ElGamal and Elliptical curve cryptosystem, their security aspects and the processes involved in design and implementation of these algorithms are examined.

RSA Algorithm is one of the widely used asymmetric cryptography. But with several conducts of the different studies, factorization attack based on the value of modulo ‘n’ and based on the public key, the value of the private key is vulnerable. With this, the study modified the RSA Algorithm based on modulo and the public key. The modulo transformed into a new value that produced a compound result in the factorization process. At the same time, the public key has been modified by choosing randomly from collected values and transformed to a different value making it a better-hidden private key. The two algorithms compared in terms of factorization, encryption and decryption, and speed. The modification of the RSA Algorithm based on modulo and public key produced a new two-tier scheme in terms of factorization, and encryption and decryption process. The new scheme in the result is resistant to factorization and has a new scheme of private key hiding.

In today’s world, the internet is a platform, where large amount of data can be obtained and transferred. Different technologies and internet access are used to transfer the data which can be accessed by authorized and unauthorized users.The major drawback of these technologies are that any unauthorized person can access it.Hence encryption and decryption is perform on Message/Data .In encryption the plain text/image is converted into cipher text/image.The technique of data hiding is used to hide the data that has to be transferred from the source to the destination.The process involves insertion of secret message in the cover image which is encrypted with the help of AES algorithm. This algorithm generates public/private key. All this process can be performed in lossless and reversible manner.

Algoritma ElGamal merupakan algoritma dalam kriptografi yang termasuk dalam kategori algoritma asimetris. Keamanan algoritma ElGamal terletak pada kesulitan penghitungan logaritma diskret pada bilangan modulo prima yang besar sehingga upaya untuk menyelesaikan masalah logaritma ini menjadi sangat sukar. Algoritma ElGamal terdiri dari tiga proses, yaitu proses pembentukan kunci, proses enkripsi dan proses dekripsi. Proses pembentukan kunci kriptografi ElGamal terdiri dari pembentukan kunci privat dan pembentukan kunci public. Pada proses ini dibutuhkan sebuah bilangan prima aman yang digunakan sebagai dasar pembentuk kunci public sedangkan sembarang bilangan acak digunakan sebagai pembentuk kunci privat. Pada penelitian sebelumnya digunakan bilangan prima aman pada proses pembentukan kunci namun tidak dijelaskan alasan mengapa harus menggunakan bilangan prima aman tersebut. Penelitian ini mencoba membandingkan penggunaan bilangan prima aman dan bilangan prima tidak aman pada pembentukan kunci algoritma elgamal. Analisa dilakukan dengan mengenkripsi dan dekripsi sebuah file dengan memvariasikan nilai bilangan prima aman dan bilangan prima tidak aman yang digunakan untuk pembentukan kunci public dan kunci privat. Dari hasil analisa dapat disimpulkan bahwa dengan menggunakan bilangan prima aman maupun bilangan prima tidak aman, proses pembentukan kunci, enkripsi dan dekripsi tetap dapat berjalan dengan baik, semakin besar nilai bilangan prima yang digunakan, maka kapasitas cipherteks juga semakin besar.Elgamal algorithm is an algorithm in cryptography that is included in the category of asymmetric algorithms. The security of Elgamal algorithm lies in the difficulty in calculating the discrete logarithm on large number of prime modulo that attempts to solve this logarithm problem becomes very difficult. Elgamal algorithm is consists of three processes, that are the key generating, encryption and decryption process. Key generation of elgamal cryptography process is consisted of the formation of the private key and public key. In this process requires a secure prime number is used as the basis for forming public key while any random number used as forming of the private key. In the previous research is used secure prime number on key generating process but does not explain the reasons of using the secure primes. This research tried to compare using secure and unsecure primes in elgamal key generating algorithm. The analysis is done by encrypting and decrypting a file by varying the value of secure and unsecure of prime numbers that are used on generating of a public and a private key. From the analysis it can be concluded that using secure and unsecure of prime numbers, the process of key generating, encryption and decryption can run well, the greater value of prime numbers are used, the greater the capacity of the ciphertext.

Cryptography is a technique for sending secret messages. This research builds an Android-based email client application which implement cryptography with Schmidt-Samoa algorithm, which is classified as a public key cryptography. The algorithm performs encryption and decryption based on exponential and modulus operation on text messages. The application use 512 and 1024 bit keys. Performance measurements is done using text messages with character number variation of 5 – 10.000 characters to obtain the time used for encryption and decryption process. As a result of this research, 99,074% data show that decryption process is faster than encryption process. In 512 bit keys, the system can perform encryption process in 520 - 18.256 miliseconds, and decryption process in 487 - 5.688 miliseconds. In 1024 bit keys, system can perform encryption process in 5626 – 52,142 miliseconds (7.388 times slower than 512 bit keys) and decryption process with time 5463 – 15,808 miliseconds or 8.290 times slower than 512 bit keys.

In this chapter, we introduce public-key encryption. We first consider the motivation behind the concept of public-key cryptography and introduce the hard problems on which popular public-key encryption schemes are based. We then discuss two of the best-known public-key cryptosystems, RSA and ElGamal. For each of these public-key cryptosystems, we discuss how to set up key pairs and perform basic encryption and decryption. We also identify the basis for security for each of these cryptosystems. We then compare RSA, ElGamal, and elliptic-curve variants of ElGamal from the perspectives of performance and security. Finally, we look at how public-key encryption is used in practice, focusing on the popular use of hybrid encryption.

To transmit sensitive information over the unsafe communication network like the internet network, the security is precarious tasks to protect this information. Always, we have much doubt that there are more chances to uncover the information that is being sent through network terminals or the internet by professional/amateur parasitical persons. To protect our information we may need a secure way to safeguard our transferred information. So, encryption/decryption, stenographic and vital cryptography may be adapted to care for the required important information. In system cryptography, the information transferred between both sides sender/receiver in the network must be scrambled using the encryption algorithm. The second side (receiver) should be outlook the original data using the decryption algorithms. Some encryption techniques applied the only one key in the cooperation of encryption and decryption algorithms. When the similar key used in both proceeds is called symmetric algorithm. Other techniques may use two different keys in encryption/decryption in transferring information which is known as the asymmetric key.  In general, the algorithms that implicated asymmetric keys are much more secure than others using one key.   RSA algorithm used asymmetric keys; one of them for encryption the message, and is known as a public key and another used to decrypt the encrypted message and is called a private key. The main disadvantage of the RSA algorithm is that extra time is taken to perform the encryption process. In this study, the MATLAB library functions are implemented to achieve the work. The software helps us to hold very big prime numbers to generate the required keys which enhanced the security of transmitted information and we expected to be difficult for a hacker to interfere with the private information. The algorithms are implemented successfully on different sizes of messages files.

This study aims to analyze the performance and security of the RSA algorithm in combination with the key generation method of enhanced and secured RSA key generation scheme (ESRKGS). ESRKGS is an improvement of the RSA improvisation by adding four prime numbers in the property embedded in key generation. This method was applied to instant messaging using TCP sockets. The ESRKGS+RSA algorithm was designed using standard RSA development by modified the private and public key pairs. Thus, the modification was expected to make it more challenging to factorize a large number n into prime numbers. The ESRKGS+RSA method required 10.437 ms faster than the improvised RSA that uses the same four prime numbers in conducting key generation processes at 1024-bit prime number. It also applies to the encryption and decryption process. In the security testing using Fermat Factorization on a 32-bit key, no prime number factor was found. The test was processed for 15 hours until the test computer resource runs out.

A lot of data is misused without the data owner being aware of it. Software developers must ensure the security user data on their system. Due to the size of the market that houses data, the security of record databases must be of great concern. Cryptographic systems or data encryption can be used for data security. The Merkle-Hellman Knapsack algorithm is included in public-key cryptography because it uses different keys for the encryption and decryption processes. This algorithm belongs to the NP-complete algorithm which cannot be solved in polynomial order time. This algorithm has stages of key generation, encryption, and decryption. The results of this study secure database records from theft by storing records in the form of ciphertext/password. Ciphertext generated by algorithmic encryption has a larger size than plaintext.
