| Summary: | Elliptic curve cryptography is an approach to public key cryptography based
on the algebraic structure of elliptic curves over finite fields. Certain choices of
elliptic curves and/or underlying fields can reduce the security of an elliptic curve
cryptosystem. This paper describes some factors that can affect the strength of the
elliptic curve cryptosystem, as well as a discussion of the attacks that cause these
weaknesses. Following that, suggestions on ways to avoid weak implementations
will be provided to help developers create a secure elliptic curve cryptosystem. |
