Pentatope Based Elliptic Curve Encryption for Privacy and Protection of Multimedia Data

Abstract

Now-a-days information security plays a vital role in this digitalized world. Data-breaching is the most serious threat in the current world due to the lack of proper security measures. In order to overcome such security issues, several cryptographic algorithms are developed. Most of these existing algorithms concentrated just on encrypting and decrypting process but not on the key size used and the computation time. To overwhelm this problem, a methodology was introduced by making use of the pentatope number in the elliptic curve cryptography, which tends to reduce the shared secrecy between sender and the receiver. It is used to provide security for multimedia data files such as text and image data present in various formats. In this ECC is used because it is the better alternative for the public key encryption compared to various encryption algorithms like RSA which offers a good level of security. The proposed methodology provides better security to the users in order to share their information in an ease manner.
