Design and Implementation of Video using Elliptical Curve Cryptography

Abstract

Video encryption is gaining popularity in the recent times because of growing demands of
communication over the internet. The video information has to pass to and fro through
several transmissions between different senders and receivers. The existing cryptographic
techniques involve a complex signal processing algorithm which utilize high bandwidth and
requires high processing time. Elliptical Curve Cryptography (ECC) is an algorithm that
provides security with reduced processing time because of its small key size. The
implementation of this video encryption algorithm has been made in Python 2.7 version. The
paper gives the basic understanding of ECC followed by methodology of implementation and
shows the result of encryption and decryption of the sample video.
