Security is an important aspect of embedded system design. The characteristics of
embedded systems give rise to a number of novel vulnerabilities. A variety of different …

Pairings on elliptic curves are fast coming of age as cryptographic primitives for deployment
in new security applications, particularly in the context of implementations of Identity-Based …

In this paper we describe an efficient implementation of the Tate and Ate pairings using
Barreto-Naehrig pairing-friendly curves, on both a standard PC and on a 32-bit smartcard …

In this paper, we introduce a highly optimized software implementation of standards-
compliant elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) for wireless sensor nodes equipped with an 8 …

Multi-precision multiplication is one of the most fundamental operations on microprocessors
to allow public-key cryptography such as RSA and Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC). In this …

The decision regarding the best suitable microprocessor for a given task is one of the most
challenging assignments a hardware designer has to face. In this paper, we make a …

Abstract Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are playing a vital role in an ever-growing
number of applications ranging from environmental surveillance over medical monitoring to …

In this paper, we answer the question whether binary extension field or prime-field based
processors doing multi-precision arithmetic are better in the terms of area, speed, power …

We present a concept for the realization of asymmetric cryptographic techniques in light-
weight cryptographic devices and describe an implementation based on elliptic curve …

In this paper, instruction set extensions for a reduced instruction set computer processor are
presented to improve the software performance of the data encryption standard (DES), the …
