Abstract
Scalar Multiplication(SM) is the most frequently used operation in Elliptic Curve Cryptography(ECC). The efficiency of an ECC based system depends on the efficient implementation of SM. The type of basis used while designing a cryptosystem determines the space and time complexities. We implemented two multipliers based on Optimal Normal Basis of type II(ONB) and polynomial basis. This work uses Karatsuba and Sunar-Koc algorithms. The hardware implementations of both the multipliers have been carried out for different key lengths: 243, 251, and 270 bits. The FPGA device used for hardware implementation is XC6VLX240T(Virtex-6). The synthesis results are compared qualitatively in terms of hardware complexities for these key lengths.
