- Comparing Elliptic Curve Cryptography and RSA on 8-Bit CPUs
- Strong public-key cryptography is often considered to be too computationally expensive for small devices if not accelerated by cryptographic hardware. The authors revisited this statement and implemented elliptic curve point multiplication for 160-bit, 192-bit, and 224-bit NIST/SECG curves over GFp and RSA-1024 and RSA-2048 on two 8-bit microcontrollers. To accelerate...

- A Public-Key Cryptographic Processor for RSA and ECC
- This paper describes an extension to a general-purpose processor for accelerating public-key cryptosystems. Supported are the legacy cryptosystems RSA and DH as well as the newly emerging Elliptic Curve Cryptography ECC system. As this paper will show, minimal extensions suffice to efficiently support these public-key cryptosystems. Due to its computational...

- A Parallel Processing Hardware Architecture for Elliptic Curve Cryptosystems
- This paper proposes a parallel processing crypto-processor for Elliptic Curve Cryptography ECC to speed up EC point multiplication. The processor consists of a controller that dynamically checks Instruction-Level Parallelism ILP and multiple sets of modular arithmetic logic units accelerating modular operations. A case study of HW design with the proposed...

- Energy Analysis of Public-Key Cryptography for Wireless Sensor Networks
- In this paper, the energy cost of authentication and key exchange are quantified based on public-key cryptography on an 8-bit microcontroller platform. The paper presents a comparison of two public-key algorithms, RSA and Elliptic Curve Cryptography ECC, and considers mutual authentication and key exchange between two untrusted parties such as...

- Introduction to Public Key Cryptography
- The solution to problems of identification, authentication, and privacy in computer-based systems lies in the field of cryptography. Because of the non-physical nature of the medium, traditional methods of physically marking the media with a seal or signature for various business and legal purposes are useless.
