Abstract

Modern wireless networks require additional and safer communication techniques, pushing better encryption and frequency hopping. Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) makes radio communication safer, and this study examines stable frequency hopping approaches. Frequency hopping involves frequent broadcast frequency changes. Together with ECC, it prevents jamming, snooping, and other security threats. ECC is preferred because it is fast and secure with fewer key sizes. We recommend frequency hopping and ECC-based encryption for a novel technique. Thus, data may be transferred securely without intervention. Simulations compare the approach’s performance against standard systems to evaluate its efficacy. We found that the recommended method improves communication security and reliability. It may be utilized in military, healthcare, and finance. Incorporating frequency hopping and ECC into radio communication systems might make them safe and capable of handling new threats.
