Title: Comparing Diffie-Hellman key Exchange with Elliptic Curve Cryptography
Category: IT
Area: Network security
No. of units: 1
Supervisor: Zhongwei Zhang (Staff Profile)
Description:

Many commercial security products employ the Diffie-Hellman key exchange algorithm. However, this algorithm has been challenged by a new algorithm called Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC). In this project, we will compare two algorithms in terms of complexity, and efficiency.
