In 1987 Koblitz and Miller first proposed public key cryptosystems using the group of points of an elliptic curve over a finite field. The security of these cryptosystems was based upon the presumed intractability of the problem of computing logarithm in the elliptic curve group. Now we propose a new cryptosystem over elliptic curves whose security is based on expressing a torsion point in terms of the basis points. Since latter is more complicated than solving ECDLP. Consequently our cryptosystem is more secure than all cryptosystems based on ECDLP.

Abstract


In 1987 Koblitz and Miller first proposed public key cryptosystems using the group of points of an elliptic curve over a finite field. The security of these cryptosystems was based upon the presumed intractability of the problem of computing logarithm in the elliptic curve group. Now we propose a new cryptosystem over elliptic curves whose security is based on expressing a torsion point in terms of the basis points. Since latter is more complicated than solving ECDLP. Consequently our cryptosystem is more secure than all cryptosystems based on ECDLP.
