RSA(Rivest, Shamir and Adleman)is being used as a public key exchange and key\nagreement tool for many years. Due to large numbers involved in RSA, there is\nneed for more efficient methods in implementation for public key cryptosystems.\nElliptic Curve Cryptography(ECC) is based on elliptic curves defined over a\nfinite field. Elliptic curve cryptosystems(ECC) were discovered by Victor\nMiller and Neal Koblitz in 1985.This paper comprises of five sections. Section\nI is introduction to ECC and its components. Section II describes advantages of\nECC schemes and its comparison with RSA. Section III is about some of the\napplications of ECC. Section IV gives some embedded implementations of ECC.\nSection V contains ECC implementation on fixed point Digital Signal\nProcessor(TMS320VC5416). ECC was implemented using general purpose\nmicrocontrollers and Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) before this work.\nDSP is more powerful than microcontrollers and much economical than FPGA. So\nthis implementation can be efficiently utilized in low-power applications.\n
