FPGA IMPLEMENTATIONS OF HIGH SPEED ELLIPTIC CURVE CRYPTOGRAPHY: A SURVEY
Nagarjun Bhat, V.G. Sridhar · 2012
An explosive acceptance of Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) has been attained in the industry and academics. Elliptic Curve cryptography is an approach to public-key cryptography based on the algebraic structure of elliptic curves over finite fields. The ECC is advantageous due to the provision of high level of security and the usage of small keys. In the field of Mobile, Wireless and Network servers, to sustain the high throughput the implementations of high speed crypto-systems are needed. ECC has been extensively used for hardware implementation of FPGA and DedicatedASIC. This paper attempts to conduct a detailed survey on different techniques for implementing FPGA using ECC to achieve high speed and flexibility.
