Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) is an effective approach to protect privacy and security of information. Digital Image encryption is an important issue widely used to protect the data and to ensure the security. Several encryption and decryption cryptosystems are available to keep image secure from unauthorized user. Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) has proven to be the best solution for public key encryption. It provides a good level of security with smaller key size. In this paper we attempt to develop an enhanced Image Encryption Scheme based on ECC and PWLCM (Piecewise Linear Chaotic Map). Here, we generate a key image to enhance data security using ECC and PWLCM. From the experiment results and security analysis, we prove that our scheme cannot only achieve good encryption, but also resist the exhaustive, statistical and differential attacks.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
