PSEC-KEM (Provably Secured Elliptic Curve Encryption with Key Encapsulation mechanism) is an
algorithm designed by NTT Laboratories, Japan
in 1999. PSEC-KEM is provably secured under the
computational Diffie-Hellman assumption on the elliptic curves and is an efficient integration
of both asymmetric and symmetric key cryptography to provide a secured and integrated solution.
This work aims to develop hardware and software designs for the
algorithm on FPGAs and standard processors.
