Analysis of ECIES and Other Cryptosystems Based on Elliptic Curves

چکیده
Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) can be used as a tool for encrypting data, creating digital signatures or performing key exchanges. Regarding the encryption procedure, the schemes currently used are known as hybrid cryptosystems, as they use both symmetric and asymmetric techniques. Among those hybrid cryptosystems based on ECC, the Elliptic Curve Integrated Encryption Scheme (ECIES) is the best known, and as such it can be found in several cryptographic standards. In this work, we present an extensive review and comparison of the versions of ECIES included in documents from ANSI, IEEE, ISO/IEC, and SECG, highlighting the main differences between them that may prevent fully interoperable implementations of ECIES. In addition, a detailed list of the functions and capabilities needed by ECIES and available in Java Card is presented, which allows to provide some conclusions about the practical limitations of a Java Card implementation of ECIES.

Efficient elliptic curve cryptosystems
Elliptic curve cryptosystems (ECC) are new generations of public key cryptosystems that have a smaller key size for the same level of security. The exponentiation on elliptic curve is the most important operation in ECC, so when the ECC is put into practice, the major problem is how to enhance the speed of the exponentiation. It is thus of great interest to develop algorithms for exponentiation...
متن کاملA Comparative Analysis of Hybrid Encryption Schemes Based on Elliptic Curves
Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) can be used as a tool for encrypting data, creating digital signatures, and performing key exchanges. Regarding the encryption capability, the first schemes that appeared were either versions of already existing public-key algorithms (Massey-Omura and ElGamal) or new schemes specified ad hoc (MenezesVanstone). However, all the initial elliptic curve encryption ...

Elliptic Curve Cryptosystems (ECC) have recently received significant attention by researchers due to their high performance such as low computational cost and small key size. In this paper a novel untraceable blind signature scheme is presented. Since the security of proposed method is based on difficulty of solving discrete logarithm over an elliptic curve, performance of the proposed scheme ...
متن کاملDiffie-Hellman type key exchange protocols based on isogenies
In this paper, we propose some Diffie-Hellman type key exchange protocols using isogenies of elliptic curves. The first method which uses the endomorphism ring of an ordinary elliptic curve $ E $, is a straightforward generalization of elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman key exchange. The method uses commutativity of the endomorphism ring $ End(E) $. Then using dual isogenies, we propose...

Because of their shorter key sizes, cryptosystems based on elliptic curves are being increasingly used in practical applications. A special class of elliptic curves, namely, Koblitz curves, offers an additional but crucial advantage of considerably reduced processing time. In this article, power analysis attacks are applied to cryptosystems that use scalar multiplication on Koblitz curves. Both...
