| dc.description.abstract | Smart cards are used as trusted storage and data processing systems to store cryptographic
private keys and other valuable information. Java Card promises the ease of programming
in Java to the world of smart cards. Java’s memory model however is resource intensive
especially for smart card hardware. In this paper the software implementation of the elliptic
curve cryptography on Java Card is discussed. This work also covers the description and
implementation of the elliptic curves used in application and Nyberg-Rueppel elliptic
curve algorithms. Furthermore, The testing methods and the test results concerning the
performance of the operations, security, and the space required to store the keys are
discussed. | en |
