Strengthening ECDSA Verification Algorithm to be More Suitable to Mobile Networks

Abstract

The primary objective of the paper is to augment the efficiency of signature process in elliptic curve digital signature algorithm (ECDSA), which turns out to be a bottleneck in mobile devices due to its heavy consumption of resources. An improved algorithm for strengthening the speed of verification process in ECDSA is proposed and evaluated. A comparative study of Comb algorithm with the proposed algorithm for simultaneous multiplication on the NIST-recommended elliptic curves over prime fields is done and a broad analysis of the outcomes is also carried out. Strengthening the pre-computation process with respect to the speed of execution during verification will be the crucial task of this implementation
