Implementation of an Elliptic Curve Encryption to a Database

Abstract:

The encryption process is very important for various applications that cover the treatment of sensitive information since it allows the protection of information stored in databases from external agents, providing security and trust to the user. The elliptic curve encryption model has the advantage of generating shorter keys but at the same level of security as other methods with much longer key lengths. The project implements an encryption system using the elliptic curve algorithm to protect the information in a database against attacks from a mobile device. The interface allows the entry of encrypted information to the database, it also performs encryption and decryption. The application of the ISO/IEC 27001 standard allows the correct management of information security to be established, through controls and strategies based on the continuous improvement cycle. Finally, the system was subjected to information security validation tests when it is accessed from a mobile device and the information is transmitted through an insecure channel, performing the necessary number of tests to ensure that the information travels through the network is encrypted, being unreadable to the intruder even if you can access it.
