Abstract

Elliptic curve cryptography provides a methodology for obtaining high-speed, efficient, and scalable implementations of network security protocols. In this paper, we describe in detail three protocols based on elliptic curve cryptographic techniques, and the results of our implementation of the elliptic curve cryptography over the Galois field GF(2^k), where k is a composite number.
