| Summary: | Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) is becoming an attractive alternative to
traditional public-key cryptography systems like RSA, Digital Signature
Algorithm (DSA) and Diffie-Hellman (DH) as ECC provides similar level of
security with smaller key sizes resulting in faster computations, lower power
consumption, as well as memory and bandwidth savings.
This report documents the design and implementation of using ECC with
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), the dominant Internet security protocol. The
report also covers the analysis of experimental results taken to provide a
comparison between the performances of ECC-based SSL and the RSA-based
SSL which is commonly used now. |
