An End-to-End Systems Approach to Elliptic Curve Cryptography
Overview This paper demonstrates a secure client/server system that employs elliptic curve cryptography for the public-key operations in OpenSSL. The biggest performance gain was achieved by optimizing field multiplication. However, as the number of cycles per multiplication decreases, the relative cost of all other operations increases. In particular, squarings can no longer be considered cheap. Data transport delays become more critical and contribute to a large portion of the execution time. To make optimal use of arithmetic units connected through shared data paths, overlapped and parallel execution of instructions can be employed.
