The performance of Elliptic Curves Cryptosystem(ECC) is dominated by the modular multiplication since the elliptic curve scalar multiplication consists of the modular multiplication in projective coordinates. In this paper, we propose a new method that combines the Karatsuba-Ofman multiplication method and a new modular reduction algorithm in order to improve the performance of the modular multiplication for NIST p224 in the FIPS 186-4 standard. The proposed method leads to a running time improvement for computing the modular multiplication about 25% faster than the previous methods. The results also show that the method can reduce the arithmetic complexity by half when compared with traditional implementations on the standpoint of the modular reduction.

[ $GF(2^m)$ ] for elliptic curve cryptosystem. The proposed multiplier uses Gaussian normal basis representation and produces multiplication results at a rate of one per [m/w] clock cycles, where w is the selected we.4 size. We implement the p.oposed design using Xilinx XC2V1000 FPGA device. Our design has significantly less critical path delay compared with previously proposed hard ware implementations.

More concerns are concentrated in finite fields arithmetic as finite fields being applied for Elliptic curve cryptosystem coding theory and etc. Finite fields arithmetic is affected in represen -tation of those. Optimal normal basis is effective in hardware implementation and polynomial field which is effective in the basis conversion with optimal normal basis and show that the arithmetic of finite field with the basis is effective in software implementation.

Since Koblitz and Miller suggested the use of elliptic curves in cryptography, there has been an extensive literature on elliptic curve cryptosystem (ECC). The use of ECC is based on the observation that the points on an elliptic curve form an additive group under point addition operation. To realize secure cryptosystems using these groups, it is very important to find an elliptic curve whose group order is divisible by a large prime, and also to find a base point whose order equals this prime. While there have been many dramatic improvements on finding an elliptic curve and computing its group order efficiently, there are not many results on finding an adequate base point for a given curve. In this paper, we propose an efficient method to find a random base point on an elliptic curve defined over $GF(p^m)$. We first show that the critical operation in finding a base point is exponentiation. Then we present efficient algorithms to accelerate exponentiation in $GF(p^m)$. Finally, we implement our algorithms and give experimental results on various practical elliptic curves, which show that the new algorithms make the process of searching for a base point 1.62-6.55 times faster, compared to the searching algorithm based on the binary exponentiation.

In this paper, we implement an Elliptic Curve Cryptosystem(ECC) processor for DTCP. Because DTCP(Digital Transmission Content Protection) uses GF(p), where p is a 160-bit prime integer, we design a scalar multiplier based on GF(p). The scalar multiplier consists of a modular multiplier and an adder. The multiplier uses montgomery algorithm which is implemented with CSA(Carry-save Adder) and CLA(Carry-lookahead Adder). Our new scalar multiplier has been synthesized using Samsung 0.18 um CMOS technology and the maximum operation frequency is estimated 98 MHz, with the size about 65,000 gates. The resulting performance is 29.6 kbps, that is, it takes 5.4 msec to process a 160-bit data frame. We assure that this performance is enough to be used for digital signature, encryption/decryption, and key exchanges in real time environments.

BOCC(Brand's Offline Cash with a Counter) is useful in mobile environments, but it has the possibility of attacking amount data in a smart card. To insert the upper & lower limitation of amount into a token data decreases the level of risk. If upper and lower values are same, it means a fixed amount token. Since refund can more often happen in on-line commerce, refundability is added. BOCC is based on Discrete Logarithm Problem, needs exponential computations. But mobile terminals like cell phones have low computational power. As a result, ECC is used to Improve the performance supporting same security level.

Recently, as network and computer technologies are growing rapidly, most of business transactions are performed in cyber world. In spite of many advantages, the most concerns in Electronic Commerce are the information security matters, and the cryptosystem has been claimed as one of the proper means to settle this problem. In this paper, a partial encryption/decryption algorithm has been in-troduced to show the efficiency against the conventional method in which all the data are completely encoded. In our proposed scheme, the multimedia data can be efficiently encoded in a short time providing good data security. For example, the MP3 data can be securely protected with 10% encryption in our scheme. Moreover, 1he shuffling process at the end of partial encryption procedure provides higher level of data security.

Elliptic Curve Cryptosystem (ECC)은 작은 키 크기로 인하여 스마트카드, 센서 모트와 같은 메모리, 컴퓨팅 능력이 제약된 디바이스에서 사용하기에 적합하다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 디바이스에서 타원 곡선 서명 알고리즘 (ECDSA) 검증(Verification)의 주된 계산인 멀티 스칼라 곱셈을(multi-scalar multiplication) 효율적으로 구현하기 위한 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안 알고리즘은 어떠한 메모리 크기에서도 적용 가능할 뿐만 아니라 해당 메모리 크기에서 최적의 효율성을 제공한다. 또한 스칼라 리코딩 (Scalar receding) 과정이 table lookup을 사용하지 않고 on-the-fly 하게 진행되기 때문에 기존의 다른 알고리즘에 비하여 더욱 메모리를 절약할 수 있다. 실험을 통하여 제안 알고리즘의 성능을 메모리 사용량, 효율성 측면에서 분석한다.

Elliptic Curve Cryptosystem (ECC) is suitable for resource-constrained devices such as smartcards, and sensor motes because of its short key size. This paper presents an efficient multi-scalar multiplication algorithm which is the main component of the verification procedure in Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA). The proposed algorithm can make use of a precomputed table of variable size and provides an optimal efficiency for that precomputed table. Furthermore, the given scalar is receded on-the-fly so that it can be merged with the main multiplication procedure. This can achieve more savings on memory than other receding algorithms. Through experiments, we have found that the optimal sizes of precomputed tables are 7 and 15 when uP+vQ is computed for u, v of 163 bits and 233 bits integers. This is shown by comparing the computation time taken by the proposed algorithm and other existing algorithms.
