  abstract	= "As an increasing number of Internet hosts are wireless C
		  handheld devices with small memory and strict CPU-latency
		  constraints C the performance of cryptography methods has
		  become critical for high transaction throughput. Elliptic
		  Curve Cryptography 8ECC 9 is emerging as an attractive
		  public-key system for constrained environments C because of
		  the small key sizes and computational efficiency C while
		  preserving the same security level as the standard methods.
		  The memory performance of ECC algorithms was scarcely
		  investigated.DAWe have developed a set of kernel benchmarks
		  to examine performance of standard and corresponding
		  elliptic curve public-key methods. In this paper C we
		  characterize the operations and their memory impact on
		  performance in Diffie-Hellman key exchange C digital
		  signature algorithm C ElGamal C and RSA public-key
		  cryptosystem C as well as elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman key
		  exchange C elliptic curve digital signature algorithm and
		  elliptic curve El-Gamal algorithm. DAWe modeled a typical
		  mobile device based on the Intel XScale architecture C
		  which utilizes an ARM processor core and studied the
		  benchmark set on that target. Different possible variations
		  for the memory hierarchy of such basic architecture were
		  considered. We compared our benchmarks with MiBench
		  FSecurity C another widely accepted benchmark set C in
		  order to provide a reference for our evaluation.DA",
