Elliptic-curve cryptographic architectures for system-on-chip based on field programmable gate arrays

Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) is an alternative mechanism for implementing public-key cryptographic system. The main reason for the attractiveness of ECC in data security systems is the fact that significantly smaller parameters are needed as compared to other competitive systems, but with equiv...
