The Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) is one of the most popular algorithms to digitally sign streams or blocks of data. In this thesis we concentrate on porting and optimizing the ECDSA on the ARM7 processor for a particular NIST curve over GF(2[superscript m]). The selected curve is a...
The Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) is the elliptic curve analog of the Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) and a federal government approved digital signature method. In this thesis work, software optimization techniques were applied to speed up the ECDSA for a particular NTST curve over GF(p). The Montgomery multiplication...
