A Survey Report On Elliptic Curve Cryptography

Abstrak

The paper presents an extensive and careful study of elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) and its applications. This paper also discuss the arithmetic involved in elliptic curve  and how these curve operations is crucial in determining the performance of cryptographic systems. It also presents  different forms of elliptic curve in various coordinate system , specifying which is most widely used and why. It also explains how isogenenies between elliptic curve  provides the secure ECC. Exentended form of elliptic curve i.e hyperelliptic curve has been presented here with its pros and cons. Performance of ECC and HEC is also discussed based on scalar multiplication and DLP. Keywords: Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC), isogenies, hyperelliptic curve (HEC) , Discrete Logarithm Problem (DLP), Integer  Factorization , Binary Field, Prime FieldDOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijece.v1i2.86
