Method and System for Securing Data Using AES and ECC with Split and Swap Encryption Technique

Abstract

This invention presents a novel hybrid encryption framework combining Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) to achieve robust data security. The proposed system introduces a unique approach based on the formula E = ECC.(AES)², where AES provides high-speed symmetric encryption and ECC ensures secure key exchange through asymmetric cryptography. The framework enhances security by splitting the data into two equal parts: one encrypted using AES and the other with ECC. A swapping mechanism further obfuscates the data structure, adding an extra layer of protection. This innovative combination of cryptographic techniques ensures resilience against modern cyber threats, including brute force and key compromise attacks, while maintaining computational efficiency. The system is scalable and suitable for applications requiring high levels of confidentiality, such as secure communication, cloud storage, financial transactions, and military-grade data protection. Experimental results demonstrate the invention's robustness, efficiency, and adaptability, making it a reliable solution for securing sensitive digital information in an increasingly interconnected world.
