Riassunto

After 18 years of research and development, elliptic curve cryptography has gained widespread exposure and acceptance in the commercial world. Industry, banking, and government standards have been drafted to facilitate widespread deployment.

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.

Dalla quarta di copertina

 

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, 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, side-channel attacks and countermeasures, and efficient parameter generation. Readers receive the theoretical fundamentals as an underpinning for a wealth of practical and accessible knowledge on efficient application.

Features:

*Breadth of coverage and unified, integrated approach to elliptic curve cryptosystems

*Describes important protocols developed by industry and government, such as the FIPS 186-2 standard from the U.S. National Institute for Standards and Technology

*Provides full exposition on key techniques for efficiently implementing finite-field and elliptic curve arithmetic

*Distills complex mathematics and algorithms for easy understanding, yet total subject integration

*Includes useful literature references in each chapter, as well as a list of algorithms and appendixes on sample parameters, ECC standards, and software tools

This all-embracing and highly focused reference offers a unique overview and strategic viewpoint for one of the most widely used cryptosystems in wireless devices and smart cards today. It is an indispensable resource for any practitioners, professionals, or researchers in computer science, computer engineering, network design, and network data security.
