Abstract
The security of message transmission is usually a challenge for its participants. Many available programs that work with audio data claim to enable secured communication, but usually do not show the details of the methods used for data encryption. For end users to be confident, it is essential to be aware of the methods and techniques used for data encryption and decryption. Elliptic curve cryptography, an approach to public key cryptography, is now commonly used in cryptosystems. Hence, in this paper we present a method for using elliptic curve cryptography in order to secure audio data communications. Furthermore, we present a tool that implements this method for encrypting an audio file, transmitting it through the network and decrypting the file at the other end.
