A survey on elliptic curve cryptography

A Survey on Elliptic Curve Cryptography for Pervasive Computing Environment

In today‟s era of the ubiquitous computing, the Internet has become the main mode of data communication. Most of the devices used in wireless/mobile environments, that form wireless networks, ad-hoc networks and wireless sensor networks etc., have low computational power, memory and limited battery power. In such a Pervasive Computing environment, providing security to data becomes a complex ta...

High-speed hardware implementations of Elliptic Curve Cryptography: A survey

For the last decade, Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) has gained increasing acceptance in the industry and the academic community and has been the subject of several standards. This interest is mainly due to the high level of security with relatively small keys provided by ECC. To sustain the high throughput required by applications like network servers, highspeed implementations of public-key...

Software Elliptic Curve Cryptography

In this thesis, we study the software implementation of the NIST-recommended elliptic curves over prime fields. Our implementation goals are to achieve a fast, small, and portable cryptographic library, which supports elliptic curve digital signature generation and verification. The implementation results are presented on a Pentium I1 448.81 MHz. We also consider the sliding window algorithm (S...

Elliptic Curve Cryptography

There is a re-emerging demand for low-end devices such as 8-bit processors, driven by needs for pervasive applications like sensor networks and RF-ID tags. Security in pervasive applications, however, has been a major concern for their widespread acceptance. Public-key cryptosystems (PKC) like RSA and DSA generally involve computation-intensive arithmetic operations with operand sizes of 1024 −...
