Abstract :
This paper describes a reconfigurable processor that provides support for basic elliptic curve cryptographic (ECC) operations over GF(p), such as modular addition, subtraction, multiplication, and inversion. The proposed processor can be configured for any of the five NIST primes with sizes ranging from 192 to 521 bits
