Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) is an effective approach to protect privacy and security of information. Encryption provides only one level of security during transmission over the channel. Hence there is a need for a stronger encryption which is very hard to break. So, to achieve better results and improve security, information has to pass through several levels of encryption. The aim of this paper would be to provide two levels of security. First level comprises of plaintext using as security key compressed block to encrypt text based ECC technique and the second level comprises of scrambling method with compression using 2D Cellular rules. In particular, we propose an efficient encryption algorithm based ECC using Cellular automata and it is termed as Elliptic Curve Cryptosystem based Cellular Automata (ECCCA). This paper presents the implementation of ECCCA for communication over insecure channel. The results are provided to show the encryption performance of the proposed method.
