FPGA based elliptic curve cryptosystem

Abstract : Elliptic Curve Algorithms (ECA) has been developed to be a desirable algorithm to other public-key cryptosystems such as the Rivest-Shamir- Adleman algorithm (RSA) by offering the smallest key size and the highest strength per bit. It is based on the discrete logarithm in finite field and integer factorization problem. This thesis proposes the design and implementation of cryptosystem used for generation of session key based on elliptic curve. The underlying structures are the standard Galois Fields GF (2m) in standard base representation.
