Why Elliptical Curve Cryptography is More Efficient Than RSA

Join Sun Labs Distinguished Engineer Vipul Gupta and Hal Stern, VP of Sun Global Systems Engineering, in a podcast as they discuss the advantages of Elliptical Curve Cryptography (ECC) over RSA.

Topics in the podcast include:

How the use of smaller keys allows for faster computations and savings on resources like memory, bandwidth and energy.

Why ECC is ideal for the next wave of computing devices - wireless sensor devices such as Sun SPOTs

Making sure your ECC implementations communicate with one another

Government agencies looking at ECC as a way of protecting public information

How a new breed of devices will act as both client and server

Mathematically speaking, why ECC is different (and better)

Applying ECC to devices

Tune in to the podcast on the Innovating hosted on the Sun site.
