It is important that we can calculate the order of non-supersingular elliptic curves with large prime factors over the finite field GF(q) to guarantee the security of public key cryptosystems based on discrete logarithm problem(DLP). Schoof algorithm, however, which is used to calculate the order of the non-supersingular elliptic curves currently is so complicated that many papers are appeared recently to update the algorithm. To avoid Schoof algorithm, in this paper, we propose an algorithm to calculate orders of elliptic curves over finite composite fields of the forms $GF(2^m)=GF(2^{rs})=GF((2^r)^s)$ using Weil's theorem. Implementing the program based on the proposed algorithm, we find a efficient non-supersingular elliptic curve over the finite composite field $GF(2^5)^{31})$ of the order larger than $10^{40}$ with prime factor larger than $10^{40}$ using the elliptic curve $E(GF(2^5))$ of the order 36.

The most time-consuming back-bone operation in an elliptic curve cryptosystem is scalar multiplication. In this paper, we propose a method of inducing a GF operation named point quadruple operation to be used in the quad-and-add algorithm, whith was achieved by refining the traditional double-and-add algorithm. Induced expression of the algorithm was verified and proven by C program in a real model of calculation. The point quadruple operation can be used in fast and efficient implementation of scalar multiplication operation.

This paper describes implementations and test results of Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) and Elliptic Curve KCDSA(ECKCDSA) algorithms based on Java card. 163-Bit ECC guarantees as secure as 1024-Bit Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) public key algorithm, which has been frequently used until now. According to our test results, 163-bit ECC processing time is about five times fast compared with 1024-bit RSA and amount of resource usages of ECC is smaller than RSA. Therefore, ECC is more appropriate for use on secure devices such as smart cards and wireless devices with constrained computational power consumption and small memory resources.

암호는 컴퓨터의 보안을 위해서 사용되는 중요한 기법중 하나이다. 암호 시스템은 많은 연구를 통해 연구되고 발전되었는데, 키를 사용하는 암호 알고리즘은 대칭키 기법과 비대칭키 기법으로 나눌 수 있다. 대칭키 기법은 비대칭키 기법에 비해 좋은 성능을 보여주지만 키 교환의 문제로 인해, 비대칭키 기법과 병행하여 사용하는 경우가 많다. 하지만 비대칭키 기법은 성능 면에서 부담이 되기 때문에 센서 네트워크와 같이 적은 자원을 가지는 네트워크 환경에서 사용하기 힘들다. 하지만 1985년 타원곡선암호의 발표로 비대칭키 기법의 성능은 매우 향상되게 되었다. 본 논문에서는 타원곡선암호에 대해 알아보고, 타원곡선암호의 구현에 관련된 연구에 대해 알아본다.

Since Koblitz and Miller suggested the use of elliptic curves in cryptography, there has been an extensive literature on elliptic curve cryptosystem (ECC). The use of ECC is based on the observation that the points on an elliptic curve form an additive group under point addition operation. To realize secure cryptosystems using these groups, it is very important to find an elliptic curve whose group order is divisible by a large prime, and also to find a base point whose order equals this prime. While there have been many dramatic improvements on finding an elliptic curve and computing its group order efficiently, there are not many results on finding an adequate base point for a given curve. In this paper, we propose an efficient method to find a random base point on an elliptic curve defined over $GF(p^m)$. We first show that the critical operation in finding a base point is exponentiation. Then we present efficient algorithms to accelerate exponentiation in $GF(p^m)$. Finally, we implement our algorithms and give experimental results on various practical elliptic curves, which show that the new algorithms make the process of searching for a base point 1.62-6.55 times faster, compared to the searching algorithm based on the binary exponentiation.

The more improved the Internet and the information technology, the stronger cryptographic system is required which can satisfy the information security on the platform of personal hand-held devices or smart card system. This paper introduces a case study of designing an elliptic curve cryptographic processor of a high performance that can be suitably used in a wireless communicating device or in an embedded system. To design an efficient cryptographic system, we first analyzed the operation hierarchy of the elliptic curve cryptographic system and then implemented the system by adopting a serial cell multiplier and modified Euclid divider. Simulation result shows that the system was correctly designed and it can compute thousands of operations per a secdond.

In this paper, we implement Microsoft COM software modules for elliptic curve cryptographic applications and analyze its performance. The implemented COM software modules support all elliptic curve key exchange protocols and elliptic curve digital signature algorithm in IEEE 1363 finite fields GF(p) and GF(2m). Since the implemented software modules intend to focus on a component-based software development method, and thus it have a higher productivity and take systematic characteristics to be open outward and to be standardized. Accordingly, it enable a software to be developed easier and faster rather than a method using C library. In addition it support the Microsoft COM interface, we can easily implement secure software applications based on elliptic curve cryptographic algorithms.

타원곡선 이산대수 문제에 기초한 공개키 암호시스템에서 타원곡선 멱승은 반드시 필요한 연산이며 연산들 중에서 가장 복잡도가 크다. 따라서 효율적인 암호시스템 구현을 위해서는 타원곡선 멱승연산을 효율적으로 구현하는 것이 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 복합 좌표계(mixed coordinate system)를 이용한 멱승 방법을 GF(pm)상에서 정의되는 타원 곡선을 적용하여 최적의 효율성을 갖는 타원곡선 멱승 구현법을 제안한다. 또한 ‘곱셈을 이용한 역원 연산 알고리즘(IM; Inversion with Multiplication)’을 이용하여 더욱 효율적인 구현이 가능함을 보인다.
