Abstract
The increasing reliance on mobile platforms has increased the demand for robust, scalable, and effective data security mechanisms. This paper introduces an overall framework that combines two-factor authentication (2FA), multi-factor authentication, and ciphertext-policy attribute-based proxy re-encryption (CAPRE) using elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) to secure mobile data transmission. The system under design counteracts the limitations of traditional authentication schemes, such as vulnerability to impersonation, key compromise, and inefficient key management, by utilizing a multi-dimensional authentication model that combines knowledge-based, possession-based, and biometric authentication techniques. ECC is utilized for efficient cryptographic operations and ensuring security, making the framework suitable for low-resource environments. CAPRE enables careful access control and secure delegation of decryption authority without exposing plaintext data. Experimental tests demonstrate the framework’s efficacy in curbing encryption, decryption, re-encryption times, and energy consumption without compromising good resistance to phishing, brute force, and man-in-the-middle attacks. The results confirm that the proposed approach greatly enhances data security, authentication integrity, and computational efficiency, rendering it the best for current mobile contexts.
