An Efficient Audio Encryption Scheme Based on Elliptic Curve over Finite Fields

Abstract

Elliptic curve (EC) based cryptographic systems are more trustworthy than the currently used cryptographic approaches since they require less computational work while providing good security. This paper shows how to use an EC to make a good cryptosystem for encrypting digital audio. As a preliminary step, the system uses an EC of a particular type over a binary extension field to distort the digital audio pixel position. It reduces the inter-correlation between pixels in the original audio, making the system resistant to statistical attacks. In creating confusion in the data, an EC over a binary extension field is used to make a different number of substitution boxes (S-boxes). The suggested design employs a unique curve that relies on efficient EC arithmetic operations in the diffusion module. As a result, it generates high-quality pseudo-random numbers (PRNs) and achieves optimal diffusion in encrypted audio files with less processing work. Audio files of various sizes and kinds can all be encrypted using the provided algorithm. Moreover, the results show that this method effectively protects many kinds of audio recordings and is more resistant to statistical and differential attacks.

Image Encryption Based on Elliptic Curve Points and Linear Fractional Transformation

“…These modules utilize data derived from a range of numbers generated by a pseudo-random number generator (PRNG). The modern landscape of image cryptography heavily counts on well-crafted pseudo-random number generators (PRNGs) incorporating mathematical mechanisms [3,5,6]. Consequently, a plethora of algorithms have emerged to generate both substitution boxes (S-boxes) and pseudo-random number sequences (PRNs) [7][8][9][10].…”

An Elliptic Curve-Based Approach for Construction of Secure Substitution Box

“…However, the application of the high dimensional chaotic system to the device is expensive due to its high computational complexity. However, because EC group structures are more sensitive to input parameters, they provide better protection against chaos [7]. A cubic curve formed over a finite field is called an elliptic curve, and it is covered in [8].…”
