An implementation of an elliptic curve cryptosystem
J.J. Botes, W.T. Penzhorn · 2002
We discuss the implementation of the analog of the ElGamal (1984) public-key cryptosystem using elliptic curves over finite fields. More specifically, the kind of elliptic curve used is a supersingular curve over GF(2/sup 208/). Furthermore, it is shown that this cryptosystem is cryptographically secure to the best of current knowledge.
