Abstract:
It is widely recognized that data security will play a central role in 
future IT systems. Providing public-key cryptographic primitives, which 
are the core tools for security, is often difficult on embedded processor 
due to computational, memory and power constraints. This contribution 
appears to be the first thorough comparison of two public-key families,
namely elliptic curve (ECC) and hyperelliptic curve cryptosystems (HECC) 
on a wide range of embedded processor types (ARM, ColdFire, PowerPC). 
We investigated the influence of the processor type, resources, and 
architecture regarding throughput. Furthermore, we improved previously 
known HECC algorithms resulting in a more efficient arithmetic.
