Guide to Elliptic Curve Cryptography - Hankerson, Darrel

. .

Résumé :
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....
