New DES based on elliptic curves

2011, Journal of Discrete Mathematical Sciences and Cryptography

It is known that symmetric encryption algorithms are fast and easy to implement in hardware. Also elliptic curves have proved to be a good choice for building encryption system. Although most of the symmetric systems have been broken, we can create a hybrid system that has the same properties of the symmetric encryption systems and in the same time, it has the strength of elliptic curves in encryption. As DES algorithm is considered the core of all successive symmetric encryption systems, we modi ed DES using elliptic curves and built a new DES algorithm that is hard to be broken and will be the core for all other symmetric systems.
