README

These are the work-in-progress files for the project "Anpassning av
GNU Nettle för inbyggda system", funded by Internetfonden for spring
2013.

There are two main objectives for the project:

1. Implement digital signatures based on elliptic curves.

2. Optimize important crypto primitives for the ARM architecture.

The "ecc" subdirectory contains the work-in-progress ECC
implementation. I try to keep the code working, but it is very crude
in some corners. When matured, it will be integrated into the main
Nettle repository.

ARM assembly files will probably not be maintained in this repository,
but integrated in the Nettle repository more incrementally.

The doc subdirectory contains various working notes.

The benchmark subdirectory collects benchmarking figures for various
stages of the project.
