Applications and Benefits of Elliptic Curve Cryptography.
Krists Magons · 2016
This paper covers relatively new and emerging subject of the elliptic curve crypto systems whose fundamental security is based on the algorithmically hard discrete logarithm problem. Work includes the study of the following issues: mathematical background of the elliptic curve crypto systems, discrete logarithm problem, practical use cases in the industry, common implementation mistakes, performance comparison of elliptic curve and RSA crypto systems etc. The conclusion contains a brief summary of the elliptic curve cryptosystem practical applications, the potential practical benefits and disadvantages with respect to the widely used RSA crypto system.
