Guide to Elliptic Curve Cryptography
Beschreibung:
This book is the first to provide a comprehensive treatment of the practical aspects of elliptic curve cryptography. It explains the basic mathematics, provides detailed descriptions of state-in-the-art in methods for efficient implementation, and presents standardized protocols for public-key encryption, digital signatures, and key establishment. Also considered are some issues that arise in software and hardware implementation, side-channel attacks and countermeasures, and efficient parameter generation.
Written by professors who have extensive experience studying the security of elliptic curve cryptography, its implementation, and industrial applications, this book is an important resource for security professionals, developers, and implementers.
A broad overview and guide to one of the most widely used cryptosystems in wireless devices and smartcards today. The authors are some of the key researchers and developers of the EEC standards technology. Essential reference for any practitioners or professionals incomputer science, computer engineering, network design, and network/data security.
After two decades of research and development, elliptic curve cryptography now has widespread exposure and acceptance. Industry, banking, and government standards are in place to facilitate extensive deployment of this efficient public-key mechanism.
Anchored by a comprehensive treatment of the practical aspects of elliptic curve cryptography (ECC), this guide explains the basic mathematics, describes state-of-the-art implementation methods, and presents standardized protocols for public-key encryption, digital signatures, and key establishment. In addition, the book addresses some issues that arise in software and hardware implementation, as well as side-channel attacks and countermeasures. Readers receive the theoretical fundamentals as an underpinning for a wealth of practical and accessible knowledge about efficient application.
