Weak implementations of elliptic curve cryptography

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 th...
