Boahen, Edward Kwadwo A Thesis Submitted To The Department Of Computer Science, Kwame Nkrumah University Of Science And Technology, Kumasi, In Partial Fulfilment Of The Requirement For The Award Of The Master Of Science Degree In Information Technology ABSTRACT The purpose of this research is to enhance a cryptographic system called the Elliptic Curve Cryptographic System. Elliptic Curve cryptosystem is a technique of public-key encryption which is rooted on the arithmetical construction of elliptic curves over finite fields. Elliptic Curve Cryptographic System necessitates smaller keys compared to non-ECC cryptography to offer equal security. Elliptic curves are valid for digital signatures, key agreement, generators, pseudo-random and other related tasks. The first phase of the project involves understanding the key exchanges of Diffie-Hellman and also applying the properties of the Elliptic Curves, and it is terminated with key facts that the Elliptic Curve Cryptography has a shorter key length, saves bandwidth which facilitates key generation during the encryption/decryption of data, also the assurance of faster encryption and decryption, and notwithstanding its efficiency and efficacy in small devices.
