A new digital signature algorithm for ensuring the data integrity in cloud using elliptic curves

الملخص EN

In this paper, we propose an Enhanced Digital Signature Algorithm (EDSA) for verifying the data integrity while storing the data in cloud database.

The proposed EDSA is developed by using the Elliptic Curves that are generated by introducing an improved equation.

Moreover, the proposed EDSA generates two elliptic curves by applying the upgraded equation in this work.

These elliptic curve points were used as a public key which is used to perform the signing and verification processes.

Moreover, a new base formula is also introduced for performing digital signature operations such as signing, verification and comparison.

From the base formula, we have derived two new formulas for performing the signing process and verification process in EDSA.

Finally, the proposed EDSA compares the resultant values of the signing and verification processes and it checks the document originality.

The experimental results proved that the efficiency of the proposed EDSA in terms of key generation time, signing time and verification time by conducting various experiments.
