About this title

Review

'... gives a comprehensive explanation of elliptic curve cryptography. It is clearly written and is appropriate for both computer scientists and mathematicians interested in the field.' E. Schaefer, Niew Archief voor Wiskunde

'... a very well written description of the use of elliptic curves in public key cryptography.' Franck Leprévost, Zentralblatt für Mathematik

'An excellent new book on elliptic curve theory and practical implementation.' Dr Dobb's Journal Online

'... a good introduction to the mathematics behind the design of elliptic-curve cryptosystems and their implementation ... this work is an important addition to the literature.' Jonathan Golan, Computing Reviews

'... written in a very readable form and thus can be consulted and used both by mathematicians and by anybody wishing to learn more about the mathematics behind the implementations of elliptic curve cryptosystems.' European Maths Society Journal

Book Description

This book summarizes knowledge built up within Hewlett-Packard over a number of years, and explains the mathematics behind practical implementations of elliptic curve systems. It will be invaluable to mathematicians wanting to see how pure mathematics can be applied, and also engineers and computer scientists wishing to implement such systems.
