\r\n\tWithin this scenario, special attention needs to be devoted to financial implications, due to their pervasiveness. Nobody would question the key role that finance plays to complement the real sphere of the economy and that has increasingly attracted both academics and practitioners. As a result, traditional pillars – such as financial markets, products, and institutions – have evolved significantly, with financial innovation fueling further progress over time. The global side of the coin features – among others – financially connected markets, international financial exchanges, and financial conglomerates that provide valuable opportunities in terms of international corporate finance. On the other side, recent advances have involved a wider recourse to ESG factors, allowed forward steps towards a more inclusive financial system, and have made digital finance a must, rather than an option, even though much remains to be accomplished, for instance, to facilitate access to formal financial channels in many underdeveloped regions.
\r\n\r\n\t
\r\n\tThis book aims to examine emerging trends, new perspectives, and empirical applications that deal with globalization and sustainability. The goal is to provide a comprehensive overview of these important concepts as valuable support to successfully meet the challenges and take on the opportunities ahead. At the same time, drawing upon empirical evidence can contribute to bridging the gap between theory and practice, which also fits within the scope of this book.
Curve25519 is an elliptic curve in Montgomery form with base field
In previous papers we have presented implementations of elliptic curves in Weierstrass form in a binary field: the implementation of a binary field arithmetic operation algorithm [3, 4] and the implementation of the simplified Elliptic Curve Integrated Encryption Scheme (S-ECIES) in a binary field [5]. In the current paper, we present the implementation of Curve25519 in S-ECIES, thus showing that Curve25519 can also serve other purposes than key exchange.
Before defining Curve25519, we will give some basic theory on elliptic curves. This paper is only concerned with elliptic curves in Montgomery form, not Weierstrass form. An elliptic curve over
where
On the points of the elliptic curve, we may define point addition, negation, and doubling. We define point negation as follows: let
and
The points on the elliptic curve along with point at infinity
We define scalar point multiplication as follows: given a positive integer
The advantage of using Montgomery form rather than Weierstrass form is that in Montgomery form, it is possible to operate without
Elliptic curve operation in Montgomery form without
Point doubling is
Based on the work by Okeya and Sakurai reported in [7], we can recover the
Assuming
Curve25519 is the elliptic curve of Montgomery form
on
S-ECIES is based on the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem described as follows [8]: let
For every

For every (
where (x0, y0) is the coordinate of Point-Decompress(V).
We know that the groups {
In this section, we will give several algorithms in Curve25519 for implementation in S-ECIES, i.e., Montgomery ladder, point compression, point decompression, and others.
An advantage of using an elliptic curve in Montgomery form is that Montgomery ladder can be used for scalar point multiplication.
INPUT: scalar
OUTPUT:

Now, we can talk about point compression and point decompression in Curve25519. The algorithm for point compression is straightforward from the existence of two points with the same
Remember that in Curve25519 the
INPUT: Point(
OUTPUT: Point(

The inverse algorithm for point compression is point decompression, i.e., recalling the “real” y-coordinate from point compression.

The next algorithms are used to recover the
Now we can give the algorithms for encryption and decryption. For a point generator P in Curve25519 that has a prime order n, if Alice sends message
INPUT: Plaintext
OUPUT: Ciphertext (
return(
Note that in the above algorithm in line 4, there is the command “Recovery-Y.” This command is based on Okeya and Sakurai [7].
If Bob wants to read the actual message from Alice, then Bob decrypts Alice’s message using the following algorithm:
INPUT: Ciphertext(
OUTPUT: Plaintext
(
Since this elliptic curve contains a cyclic subgroup of prime order, it is possible to apply S-ECIES. For example, fix base point
Then, we choose a random integer,
For decryption, we first decompress
Now, we discuss arithmetic in

From the above algorithm, first convert the integer to binary representation, and then from the right partition every 26,25,26,25,...,
Example: Suppose we have a 15-digit number, 325606250916557, which has binary representation “1001010000010001100 01110 01110 11000 01010 10110 01101.” For integers, 325606250916557 has two partitions, i.e., 00111011000010101011001101 and 10010100000100011000111. Therefore, the coefficient of x0 is 0.225 + 0.224 + 1.223 + ... + 0.21 + 1.20, which if we calculated would be the value 15477453. In the same way, coefficient x1 would be the value 4851911. Thus, the number 325606250916557 represented by radix 225.5 would be 4851911x + 15477453. Also, we can use.
addition and multiplication in radix 225.5.
After we have converted any integer, there is an additional problem when the coefficient of radix 225.5 exceeds our definition. For this problem, Bernstein [1] has already provided a solution.
Communication systems in the future are expected to interact between diverse types of devices. This allows the user to construct a personal distributed environment using a combination of different communication technologies. The security of transmitted data between these devices is a very important aspect.
Nowadays instant messaging is popular for personal and business communications instead of short messages (SMS) on mobile devices. However, most mobile messaging applications do not protect confidentiality or message integrity. Supervision over private communications conducted by the NSA motivates many people to use alternative messaging solutions for security and privacy of communication on the Internet. A messaging app that claims to be secure instant messaging and has attracted a lot of attention is TextSecure.
Elliptic curve cryptosystem (ECC) is a public-key cryptography suitable for use in environments with limited resources such as mobile devices and smart cards. In cryptography, Curve25519 is an elliptic curve that offers 128 security bits and is designed for use in the Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) key agreement key design scheme. This curve is one of the fastest ECC curves and more resistant to the weak number random generator.
In the TextSecure application, Curve25519 is used for key exchanges and authentication. However, in this paper we show that Curve25519 can also be implemented in simplified Elliptic Curve Integrated Encryption Scheme (S-ECIES). Therefore Curve25519 serves for key exchange, authentication, encryption, and decryption. As Curve25519 is built in such a way as to avoid potential attacks on implementation and avoid side channel attacks and random number generator issues, one may expect more secure communication systems.
The curve being used in this paper is
In this research we develop efficient algorithms for elliptic curve cryptography using Curve25519 which is implemented in security of instant messaging.
Several algorithms have been established for the implementation of Curve25519 in simplified ECIES: Montgomery ladder for scalar point multiplication, point compression and point decompression, encryption and decryption in simplified ECIES, and the algorithm integer to radix for the arithmetic in
In a future research, implementation of Curve25519 in Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm may be attempted.

Examples of such applications are object detection, environment representation, scene understanding, human/pedestrian detection, activity recognition, semantic place classification, object modeling, among others. Robotic perception, in the scope of this chapter, encompasses the ML algorithms and techniques that empower robots to learn from sensory data and, based on learned models, to react and take decisions accordingly. The recent developments in machine learning, namely deep-learning approaches, are evident and, consequently, robotic perception systems are evolving in a way that new applications and tasks are becoming a reality. Recent advances in human-robot interaction, complex robotic tasks, intelligent reasoning, and decision-making are, at some extent, the results of the notorious evolution and success of ML algorithms.
