Elliptic curve cryptography. Java platform implementations

Abstract

Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) is one of the most interesting systems for protecting sensitive information nowadays. The latest versions of the Java Platform include classes and interfaces making ECC available to programmers, but due to the nature of Java it is still necessary to employ additional third party packages in order to use cryptographic operations and procedures related to ECC. In the present work, an extensive review of the most important ECC implementations in Java is presented.
