Muhammad Firoz Mridha . A New Approach for Secured Transition using Prime Field Elliptic Curve Cryptography System. International Journal of Computer Applications. 28, 4 ( August 2011), 1-5. DOI=10.5120/3379-4685
The demands of secured electronic transactions are increasing rapidly. Prime Field Elliptic curve cryptosystems (PFECC) are becoming most popular because of the reduced number of key bits required in comparison to other cryptosystems. PFECC is emerging as an attractive alternative to traditional public-key cryptosystems. PFECC offers equivalent security with smaller key sizes resulting in faster computations, lower power consumption, as well as memory and bandwidth savings. While these characteristics make PFECC especially appealing for small devices, they can also alleviate the computational burden on secure web servers.
