A Survey on Elliptic Curve Cryptography for Pervasive Computing Environment

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...

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...

Elliptic Curve Cryptography on FPGAs

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...
