ECC-LIB : A Library for Elliptic Curve Cryptography

ECC-LIB is a fully-equipped, portable, and modular library for Elliptic Curve (EC) Cryptography that allows for the easy development of EC cryptographic protocols, and which can be readily tailored to suit different requirements and user needs. The library is implemented in ANSI C using the GNU Multiple Precision library for high-precision floating point arithmetic. The full source code is included, written entirely in standard, portable ANSI C.
