Abstract
The most popular encryption scheme based on elliptic curves is the Elliptic Curve Integrated Encryption Scheme (ECIES), which is included in ANSI X9.63, IEEE 1363a, ISO/IEC 18033-2, and SECG SEC 1. These standards offer many ECIES options, not always compatible, making it difficult to decide what parameters and cryptographic elements to use in a specific deployment scenario. In this work, the authors show that a secure and practical implementation of ECIES can only be compatible with two of the four previously mentioned standards. They also provide the list of functions and options that must be used in such an implementation. Finally, they present the results obtained when testing this ECIES version implemented as a Java application, which allows them to offer some comments about the performance and feasibility of their proposed solution.
