Elliptic Curve Performance in IPsec




I've had many requests to document the benefits of elliptic curve in IPsec.
A paper on this subject is available at:

       http://www.certicom.com/ecc/ipsec.htm

Please note that the curves used in this benchmark are not those in the
current specification.  It's the old adage that "... you can lead a
mathematician to a formula, but you can't make them implement something
they don't feel is secure .." :-(   I will try to have the reference code
used in this benchmark available in January.
