Security Improvement in Elliptic Curve Cryptography

Elliptic curve cryptography in cloud computing security

Cloud computing is a technological advancement that has been growing swiftly during the last decade. In simple terms, cloud computing is a technology that enables shared, remote, on-demand and ubiquitous access to services through the Internet. It enables consumers to access applications and services that reside on remote servers, without having to allocate large amounts of storage space on the...

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 −...

Elliptic Curve Cryptography

Public key cryptography systems are based on sound mathematical foundations that are designed to make the problem hard for an intruder to break into the system. The major approaches that since 1976 have withstood intruder attacks, are the discrete logarithm Mr. Raja Ghosal PhD Student, Auto-ID Lab, ADELAIDE School of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, The University of Adelaide Prof. Peter...
