Abstract

At the beginning the paper describes the basic properties of finite field arithmetic and elliptic curve arithmetic over prime and binary fields. Then it discusses the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem and its properties. We study the Baby-Step, Giant-Step method, Pollard’s rho method and Pohlig–Hellman method, known as general methods that can exploit the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem, and describe in detail attack experiments using these methods over prime and binary fields. Finally, the paper discusses the expected running time of these attacks and suggests the strong elliptic curves that are not vulnerable to these attacks.
