Performance Analysis for Image Encryption Using ECC

Encryption is used to securely transmit data in open networks. Each type of data has its own features, therefore different techniques should be used to protect confidential image data from unauthorized access. In this paper, we introduce a Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) with knapsack for image encryption and analysis the result. The results showed that the less Encryption Time, less power consuming and more reliable compare than Integer factorization problem (RSA). Finally, the security analysis shows that the proposed scheme satisfies the security properties such as mutual authentication, key control, key confirmation, confidentiality of the sensitive image data.
