1.3 PROJECT JUSTIFICATION
With increasing reliance on computer systems worldwide for data processing and information storage, the need for legitimate security of information and data cannot be overemphasized. Un- authorized access, revelation or destruction of data can violate individual privacy and even threaten the existence of an organization. Since information is regarded as the live wire of an organization, it is, therefore, necessary to secure computer systems and the stored information in the network.
1.4 OBJECTIVES
The objective of this research are:
1. To study the existence security cryptography algorithm and their loopholes.
2. To design and develop a security scheme using ECC.
3. To evaluate the scheme.

This project presents ECDSA Cryptosystem as a solution to the problem been faced by network administrators and Engineers. The Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) is the elliptic curve analogue of the Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) with the attractiveness that there is no sub exponential algorithm known to solve the ell ...

CHAPTER TWO - [ Total Page(s): 11 ]Simple packet filters selectively controls the flow of packets in/out of a network or between networks. Control is based and enforced through a series of rules. These rules are based on information stored in the IP and TCP/UDP/ICMP headers.Rule criteria can be based on the following characteristics of the IP packet:➢ Source and/or destination addresses➢ Protocol including TCP, UDP, ICMP, or all IP➢ TCP or UDP source and/or destination ports➢ ICMP messa ...

CHAPTER THREE - [ Total Page(s): 8 ]CHAPTER THREE3.0 METHODOLOGY3.1 BACKGROUND OF ELLIPTIC CURVE CRYPROGRAPHYElliptic curve cryptography provides a methodology for obtaining high-speed, efficient, and scalable implementations of network security protocols. The security of these protocols depends on the difficulty of computing elliptic curve discrete logarithm in the elliptic curve group.The group operations utilize the arithmetic of points which are elements of the set of solutions of an elliptic curve equation d ...

CHAPTER FOUR - [ Total Page(s): 10 ]Step 3: verifying the signatureAt this stage the program try to verify the signature weather it’s correct or not. It will display VALID or INVALID to ascertain the validity.Result:The result above what gotten using Secp256kr1 algorithm as shown above, the private and public key was gotten based on previous work inculcated into the database for the key generation and FRANCIS was used as the message string in other to get a signature value. ...

CHAPTER FIVE - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]CHAPTER FIVESUMMARY, CONCLUSION, AND RECOMMENDATIONElliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) which is one of the variants of Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) proposed as an alternative to established public key systems such as Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) and Rivest Shamir Adleman (RSA), have recently gained a lot of attention in industry and academia.The main reason for the attractiveness of ECDSA is the fact that there is no sub exponential algorith known to solve the elliptic c ...
