SECURE EMAIL SERVICES USING ECC

Abstract

Secure email services are essential for protecting sensitive information from unauthorized access. One effective method for enhancing email security is Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC), a modern encryption technique that provides strong protection with smaller key sizes compared to traditional methods like RSA. ECC allows secure key exchange, digital signatures, and data encryption while maintaining high performance, even on devices with limited processing power. This paper explores how ECC is used to improve the confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity of email communication. It also discusses its advantages, implementation considerations, and its growing role in secure digital communication
