AB  - Authentication is the first defense line of user attributes protection and an important process to
ensure basic security objectives such as confidentiality and integrity. Any user has specific attributes and all
user’s attributes (data) must be encrypted before stored in the database at the server, so that, no one can
access to those attributes even service provider that are considered sensitive information, the difficulty lies in
processing data without knowing its content to solve this problem, homomorphic encryption is proposed for
authentication process because of it can deal with the encrypted text without the need for decryption and HE
creates a common factor that is generated from the original text and its cipher text for matching common factor
to access to the system. In this study, proposed elliptic curve algorithm based on HE to encrypt user’s
attributes.
