This paper describes a scalar multiplier for Elliptic curve cryptography. The scalar multiplier has 163-bits key size which supports the specifications of smart card standard. To reduce the computational complexity of scalar multiplication on finite field $GF(2^{163})$, the Non-Adjacent-Format (NAF) conversion algorithm based on complementary recoding is adopted. The scalar multiplier core synthesized with a $0.35-{\mu}m$ CMOS cell library has 32,768 gates and can operate up to 150-MHz@3.3-V. It can be used in hardware design of Elliptic curve cryptography processor for smart card security.
