An example of application—elliptic curve cryptography

Authored on: Apr 13, 2009 by Jean-Pierre Deschamps et al

Technical Paper / Book Excerpt

This chapter excerpted from Hardware Implementation of Finite-Field Arithmetic, gives an example of finite-field application—namely, the implementation of the scalar product (point multiplication) over an elliptic curve. It is the basic computation primitive of elliptic curve cryptography.

The book, written by Jean-Pierre Deschamps, José Luis Imaña and Gustavo D. Sutter describes algorithms and circuits for executing finite-field operations, including addition, subtraction, multiplication, squaring, exponentiation and division.

this not properly tells how the overall cryptographies system works??????only point doubling,point multiplication or addition is discussing.
