Abstract: Asymmetric cryptography is still very interesting field of research. Several algorithms have been proposed as a competition to the RSA standard. In this paper we will describe one of these algorithms, based on Elliptic Curves. We will briefly describe the basics of Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) and its variants using polynomial and normal basis and affine and projection coordinates. Further, we will describe our hardware framework used to evaluate all possible combina- tions. To achieve this we implement inter- changeable arithmetic units and micropro- grammable controller.
