USDIn the past few years elliptic curve cryptography has moved from a fringe activity to a major system in the commercial world. This timely work summarizes knowledge gathered at Hewlett-Packard over a number of years and explains the mathematics behind practical implementations of elliptic curve systems. Since the mathematics is advanced, a high barrier to entry exists for individuals and companies new to this technology. Hence, this book will be invaluable not only to mathematicians but also to engineers and computer scientists who want to actually implement such systems.
- Indispensable for researchers in this area
- Authors are top names
- Covers state of the art results
Reviews & endorsements
"This book gives a good introduction to the mathematics behind the design of elliptic-curve cryptosystems and their implementation...this work is an important addition to the literature." Computing Reviews
"This lovely book [Elliptic Curves in Cryptography] has a thorough coverage of bit-counting issues, something that matters greatly when you are thinking of implementing ECC. The text covers valuable background research...[it] is clearly written and brings the reader up to date on current research. It is a gem." Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society
