Title: ECDSA B-233 with Precomputation 1.0 Beta Version

Software ·
OSTI ID:1231253

This software, written in C, performs two functions: 1) the generation of digital signatures using ECDSA with the B-233 curve and a table of precomputed values, and 2) the generation and encryption of a table of precomputed values to support the generation of many digital signatures. The computationally expensive operations of ECDSA signature generation are precomputed, stored in a table, and protected with AES encryption. This allows digital signatures to be generated in low-power, computationally-constrained environments, such as are often found in non-proliferation monitoring applications. The encrypted, precomputed table and digital signature generation software are used to provide public key data authentication for sensor data. When digital data is presented for signing, a set of values from the table is decrypted and used to generate an ECDSA digital signatureThis software, written in C, performs two functions: 1) the generation of digital signatures using ECDSA with the B-233 curve and a table of precomputed values, and 2) the generation and encryption of a table of precomputed values to support the generation of many digital signatures.
