A survey on security of mobile handheld devices through elliptic curve cryptography

Mobile hand-held devices find their best suited for military application, due to ability to deliver real-time voice data. Military applications demand stringent requirements in terms of data confidentiality, authentication. Security can be provided using strong encryption. There are various parameters which need to be considered such as power consumption, execution time, QOS. In this paper, analysis is done regarding various existing available papers which discuss the implementation of security methods for handheld devices on certain parameters.
