Abstract

With the advent of quantum computing, numerous efforts have been made to standardize post-quantum cryptosystems with the intention of (eventually) replacing Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) and Rivets-Shamir-Adelman (RSA). A modified version of the traditional N-Th Degree Truncated Polynomial Ring (NTRU) cryptosystem called NTRU Prime has been developed to reduce the attack surface. In this paper, the Signcryption scheme was proposed, and it is most efficient than others since it reduces the complexity and runs the time of the code execution, and at the same time, provides a better security degree since it ensures the integrity of the sent message, confidentiality of the data, forward secrecy when using refreshed parameters for each session. Unforgeability to prevent the man-in-the-middle attack from being active or passive, and non-repudiation when the sender can’t deny the recently sent message. This study aims to create a novel NTRU cryptography algorithm system that takes advantage of the security features of curve fitting operations and the valuable characteristics of chaotic systems. The proposed algorithm combines the (NTRU Prime) and Shamir's Secret Sharing (SSS) features to improve the security of the NTRU encryption and key generation stages that rely on robust polynomial generation. Based on experimental results and a comparison of the time required for crucial exchange between NTRU-SSS and the original NTRU, this study shows a rise in complexity with a decrease in execution time in the case when compared to the original NTRU. It’s encouraging to see signs that the suggested changes to the NTRU work to increase accuracy and efficiency.
