Security Case Studies

Securing the Web with Elliptic Curve Cryptography. Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) is emerging as an attractive public-key cryptosystem for mobile/wireless environments. Compared to traditional cryptosystems like RSA, ECC offers equivalent security with smaller key sizes, which results in faster computations, lower power consumption, as well as memory and bandwidth savings. This is especially useful for mobile devices which are typically limited in terms of their CPU, power and network connectivity. Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) has recently been endorsed by the US government. more>
