Abstract
In recent years, the information access, use, and control have become progressively an interesting area of research. The increase in the number of cyberattacks makes network and information security situation bleak. In this chapter, we have presented an overview of cryptography that complements strongly security, we describe and compare symmetric encryption systems and asymmetric encryption systems. Therefore, we give a brief introduction to the elliptic curve cryptography (ECC), performance, characteristics, advantages, and challenges. Also, we investigate the PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) technology for certificate revocation. Then we propose a new approach for a lightweight PKI based in elliptic curve cryptography (ECC); furthermore, we present a public key infrastructure model for certificate revocation, as well we elaborate the deployment of the presented Model.
