  1. ELLIPTICAL CURVE CRYPTOGRAPHY -Anusha Uppaluri

  2. ECC- A set of algorithms for key generation, encryption and decryption (public key encryption technique) • ECC was introduced by Victor Miller and Neal Koblitz in 1985 • Good alternative to other asymmetric cryptography algorithms • Greater security for a given key size • Smaller key size= more compact implementations • Is related to discrete logarithm cryptography

  3. Asymmetric cryptographic systems use • functions whose inverse is difficult to calculate. • Ex: RSA-factoring very large numbers, Diffie Helman Key exchange- discrete log problem

  4. Difficulty of forward and inverse operation against key length

  5. ECC’s inverse operation gets harder much faster

  6. What is ECC? • Elliptic curve is defined by the equation y2=x3+ax+b Elliptic curve

  7. Consider a very large prime number P, a square graph PxP in size. • Define an elliptic curve satisfying the above equation. • Considering the points (x,y) on the curve a group which is a subset of all the points on the graph is created. • Point multiplication is the critical operation used: calculate kP where k is an integer and P is a point on curve.

  8. Discrete Logarithm Problem is the inverse of point multiplication: given points Q,P find k such that Q=kP • Pollard’s rho attack is the best possible attack on ECC • Pollard’s rho attack gets lot harder much faster with increase in key size.

  9. ECC compared with RSA

  10. Smaller ECC keys implies – cryptographic operations in fewer processor cycles, faster operations, less power consumed, lower memory demands • Ideal for portable devices • Few cases wherein elliptical curve discrete logarithm problem becomes vulnerable to subexponential techniques.
