Elliptic Curve Cryptography in Practice

It is found that despite the high stakes of money, access and resources protected by ECC, implementations suffer from vulnerabilities similar to those that plague previous cryptographic systems.

ECDSA Key Extraction from Mobile Devices via Nonintrusive Physical Side Channels

We show that elliptic-curve cryptography implementations on mobile devices are vulnerable to electromagnetic and power side-channel attacks. We demonstrate full extraction of ECDSA secret signing…
