  • A Java implementation of the elliptic curve digital signature algorithm using NIST curves over GF(p)

    Creator:
    Stadick, Rhea
    Abstract:
    The Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) is a public key cryptosystem used for creation and verification of digital signatures in electronic documents. In this thesis, we created a Java applet that provides the functionality of the ECDSA using all of the NIST elliptic curves over GF(p). This applet was...
