Mathematical Approach for Cryptography

Dr . S. Vasundhara

Abstract :

 This paper provides an overview of elliptic curves and their use in cryptography. The focus of the paper is on the performance of mathematical background required. The main difference between RSA and Elliptic Curve Cryptography is that unlike RSA, Elliptic Curve Cryptography offers the same level of security for smaller key sizes. Elliptic Curve Cryptography is highly mathematical in nature. While conventional public–key cryptosystems (RSA, Diffie – Hellman and DSA) operate directly on large integers, an Elliptic Curve Cryptography operates over points on an elliptic curve using elliptic curve cryptography instead of traditional cryptosystemssuch as RSA. Specific applications to secure messaging and identity–based encryptionare also discussed.
