Abstract

We apply power analysis on known elliptic curve cryptosystems, and consider an exact implementation of scalar multiplication on elliptic curves for resisting against power attacks. Our proposed algorithm does not decrease the computational performance compared to the conventional scalar multiplication algorithm, whereas previous methods did cost the performance or fail to protect against power analysis attacks.
