Compact and Scalable Elliptic Curve Crypto Processor in Binary Field

Elliptic Curve Cryptography plays a vital role in securing the information for the past two decades. Implementing ECC in hardware is more efficient than software. A processor is said to be compact, if its implementation space is small compared to its execution speed and is scalable if this processor is used with different key sizes. Different metrics such as execution time, implementation space and energy consumption are used to quantitatively measure the performance of ECC processor. This ECC processor consumes 87 %, 92 % of the I/O pins from Quartus 10.1 Arria GX namely EP1AGX50DF1152C6, Cyclone III namely EP3C40F780C6 respectively. This also consumes the power of 671.12 mW in 44 ms and 150.39 mW in 40 ms from Quartus 10.1 Arria GX namely EP1AGX50DF1152C6, Cyclone III namely EP3C40F780C6 respectively.
