  • Conference paper
Smart Card Research and Applications (CARDIS 1998)

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNCS,volume 1820))

Abstract

This paper intends to provide information about up-to-date performances of smart-card arithmetic coprocessors regarding major public-key cryptosystems and analyze the main tendences of this developing high-tech industry and related markets. We also comment hardware limitations of current technologies and provide a technique for extending them by virtually doubling their capacities.
