Certicom speeds digital signature verification
Michael Arnone writes in FCW.com:
Certicom Corp. has developed a way to speed up the verification of digital signatures, company officials announced last week.
The new cryptography application, Fast ECSDA Verify, will help computers process large amounts of data more quickly and aid machines that have limited computing power, officials from the Ontario, Canada-based company said.
Those benefits will lead to more efficient microprocessor use and make strong cryptography available to more applications, company officials said.
Computers running the elliptic-curve digital signatures algorithm (ECDSA) usually take 221 milliseconds to verify a digital signature, company officials said. Certicom boasts that Fast ECDSA Verify takes only 158 milliseconds, 40 percent faster.
