Abstract

Elliptic Curve Cryptography has helped in securing data extensively most especially in a peer-to-peer system by ensuring transactions are free from attacks. Financial institutions are dependent upon as a trusted third party in processing electronic payments when trading on the internet whereas the Bitcoin has no involvement of the financial institutions to process transactions. The motive of this article to depict an application in which the combination of Elliptic Curve Cryptography and Hash function are utilized to maintain the integrity of data and transactions.This paper discusses the Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC), hash function, the blockchain technology, and shows how the application of ECDSA and Hash Function secure Bitcoin transaction.
