    Abstract—Internet of Things (IoT) nodes create vulnerabilities exposed to malicious software attacks. Thus, security is necessary to maintain growth in the IoT technology. This paper will focus on the use of Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) as a digital authenticator for use in the IoT. Although ECDSA improves security, it comes at the cost of computational complexity in comparison to authentication methods that use ciphers that are symmetric or simple hashes. This complexity often

    conventional and public key cryptography. PGP is a hybrid cryptosystem. PGP then creates a session key, which is a one-time-only secret key. This key is a random number generated from the random movements of your mouse and the keystrokes you type. This session key works with a very secure, fast conventional encryption algorithm to encrypt the plaintext; the result is ciphertext. Once the data is encrypted, the session key is then encrypted to the recipient's public key. This public key-encrypted session

    Introduction RSA cryptography is vastly used to encrypt and decrypt message while communicating through internet and in the field of digital signature. This encryption system is used regularly in web browsers, chat applications email, vpn and any other types of communications that require securely sending data to severs or the other people.[8] RSA cryptography is an asymmetrical cryptography system. Because it have two keys. One is public another is private. The encryption key is public while the decryption

    Summary Basically there are two hiding techniques and those are Cryptography and Steganography. In cryptography an encryption and decryption keys will be available for encoding and decoding purpose respectively and it is having triple key to provide secured data to the receiver safely. Now in steganography not only encryption and decryption are to be done but there is cover media to provide more security

    industry that allows its participants to buy or sell products and services to each other using electronic devices via the Internet. With this increasingly huge industry comes a danger of security among its users. It is quite a concern to the general public that they may have their personal and financial information leaked through the internet from security threats. To counteract these threats, we must not overlook a few fundamental elements of transaction security, typically generalized as: - confidentiality

    plain text into a different format that is meaningless read by human eye without being decrypted, so called cipher text, in order to prevent any unauthorized party to obtain information from the document. According to the Webster dictionary, “cryptography is the practice and study of data encryption and decryption - encoding data so that it can only be decoded by specific individuals.” Crypto is derived from the Greek word kruptos, to hide, from kruptein, which means hidden and secret. In the old

    Cryptography:- If you want to keep information secret, you have two possible strategies: hide the existence of the information, or make the information unintelligible. Cryptography is the art and science of keeping information secure from unintended audiences, of encrypting it. Conversely, cryptanalysis is the art and science of breaking encoded data. The branch of mathematics encompassing both cryptography and cryptanalysis is cryptology. Modern cryptography uses sophisticated mathematical equations
