New digital signature protocol based on elliptic curves
This work addresses security vulnerabilities in digital signatures for cryptography applications, but it appears incremental as it builds on known methods like ElGamal.
The authors tackled the problem of digital signature security by proposing a new protocol based on elliptic curves, derived from a variant of the ElGamal scheme, and claimed it is efficient and secure as an alternative if existing systems fail.
In this work, a new digital signature based on elliptic curves is presented. We established its efficiency and security. The method, derived from a variant of ElGamal signature scheme, can be seen as a secure alternative protocol if known systems are completely broken.
