Guide to Elliptic Curve Cryptography

From the reviews:

"It is the first book to give a comprehensive and careful presentation of all the implementation issues involved with ECC. … The book contains chapters on implementing finite field arithmetic … . There is also an extensive chapter on engineering considerations … . is very clearly written and numerous algorithms are presented in a format suitable for easy implementations. The book will be useful for engineers and computer scientists who want to know about the important issues in implementing ECC." (Steven D. Galbraith, Mathematical Reviews, 2005)

"This book is entirely dedicated to elliptic curve cryptography. It starts – after a short overview – with finite field arithmetic … . The book is a guide for security professionals and developers … . It is very carefully written and may serve as a reference book for mathematicians as well." (J. Schoissengeier, Monatshefte für Mathematik, Vol. 144 (1), 2005)

"This is a very useful handbook for anybody who is or must be interested in practical elliptic curve cryptography and its applications. … is presented in a rather non-theoretical way and at a beginner to intermediate level. On the other hand, researchers should find the book useful because of the extensive survey of the related literature (each chapter ends with notes and further references, the bibliography containing almost 500 items)."
