A Study of Applications Based on Elliptic Curve Cryptography
Amit Dua, Akash Dutta · 2019 3rd International Conference on Trends in Electronics and Informatics (ICOEI) · 2019
Elliptical curve cryptography (ECC) is based on a public key cryptosystem that is on elliptic curve theory. ECC needs smaller keys in comparison to non-EC cryptography to provide equivalent security. Elliptic curves have multiple applications in pseudo-random generators, digital signatures, and key agreement. Here, we are presenting a survey of applications of ECC in smart grid communication, health IOT, anonymous key distribution scheme, multimedia and text encryption and in sensor networks. We discuss the merits and demerits of each application and measure their performance in respect to other comparable implementations.
