Scalar multiplication is the basic operation in elliptic curve cryptography that can be performed by many algorithms. These algorithms multiply a scalar value K with an elliptic curve base point P. One of the crucial decisions when implementing an efficient elliptic curve crypto…

We will look at a collection of mathematical problems suggested by side-channel attacks against public key cryptosystems, and how the techniques inspired by this work relate to a variety of different applications. First, we discuss the cold boot attack, a side-channel attack aga…
