Abstract

With the increasing reliance on digital data transfer, strong encryption is now essential to protect data from unauthorized access. Hybrid encryption, which blends the advantages of many encryption methods, is one practical method for enhancing data security (Agarwal et al., 2021). In order to strengthen data security, this study offers an innovative approach which utilizes the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) with the use of ECC encryption techniques.

The suggested approach makes use of the special benefits of both the AES and ECC algorithms. AES is a well-known symmetric encryption technique that can handle enormous volumes of data thanks to its quick encryption and decryption speeds. ECC, on the other hand, is a public-key encryption method that uses lower key sizes and delivers improved security when compared to more conventional techniques like RSA.

Simulations were run and compared to other encryption strategies to determine how effective the proposed hybrid encryption approach was. The outcomes show that the proposed strategy accomplishes a high standard of security while maintaining computational efficiency. This result implies that the suggested approach has been promised as a practical choice for protecting confidential information in the digital sphere.
