Pauli Half Spinning and Elliptic Curve Based Information Confidentiality Mechanism.

The use of digital contents has increased tremendously in this modern era. In fact, people spend more time on internet than ever which urged the computer scientists and mathematicians to develop new techniques for data security during transmission and when data is at rest. To cover a digital content is not a one-size-fits all type solution, in fact it requires multiple techniques. In this article we have used elliptic curves, finite state machines, Pauli spin half matrices for image encryption. Elliptic curve discrete log problem makes it difficult for the adversary to extract any information about the key. To authenticate the robustness of the system against cryptographic attacks several statistical analyses are performed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
