A performance analysis on elliptic curve cryptography in network security

Abstract

The world wide web is a most well known electronic protocol which allows us to perform massive wireless communication like military communication, commercial and other private communication. But there is a tremendous security crisis such that data security, integrity, theft, loss and presence of infected applications for a authentic communication through digital medium that is why research and development on cryptography gets huge importance by every government as well as commercial sector and private sector. There are many robust cryptographic technique already have tested. Elliptic curve cryptography is a one type of public key cryptosystem like RSA, Diffie - Hellman. The main advantage of ECC is that it allows equal security for a smaller key size than the key size used RSA, that is why ECC reduces the processing overhead. This paper represents a brief review with some statistical results on how ECC has becomes the latest trend in the present and future cryptographic scenario.
