CLP-17: High Performance Elliptic Curve Cryptography Point Multiplication Core
Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) relies upon the difficulty of the Elliptic Curve Discrete Logarithm Problem (ECDLP) and was proposed by Miller and Koblitz in 1985. The advantages of ECC over classical cryptosystems like RSA/Diffie-Hellman (D-H) include higher speed, lower power consumption, less bandwidth, and less storage requirements. The CLP-17 offloads the computationally difficult aspects of binary Elliptic Curve calculation and can be tailored to the application with build options that span low power hand-held requirements to high-performance designs for Ethernet passive optical networking (EPON) systems.
- Features
