Recommendations on a new cellular encryption standard using elliptic curve cryptography

The explosion in wireless information technology has changed the way we live and work. However, the possibilities for improvement and expansion of these wireless services are immense. The planning of future wireless architectures has already begun and some of the pitfalls identified. This paper presents the security concerns in a novel implementation of a future (fourth and fifth generation) wireless architecture and the techniques to overcome them. These techniques involve the use of elliptic curve cryptography in a public key cryptosystem
