Abstract

This paper proposes efficient algorithms for Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC). As an example a compact and efficient FPGA architecture for ECC over finite fields of even characteristic is presented. The implementation is balanced in order to increase the security w.r.t. simple side-channel attacks.
