All about encryption in smart card

Smart cards are one of the efficient devices in providing security in some systems. Smart cards are secured with using encryption algorithms. Finding the best algorithm in smart cards is more of a concern these days. There are a lot of applications with different types of encryption algorithm. Although many people have worked on modifying and improving the algorithms, the needs for having all information about them in one place and detailed comparisons between them are essential. In this paper we are going to describe the most popular and efficient encryption algorithms in smart cards such as RSA, ECC, DES and ECDSA and comparisons between these algorithms to find out the differences. This result can be helpful for such new device such as multipurpose smart cards. Results are considered under different hardware settings and languages.
