Abstract
In this chapter we examine how one actually implements cryptographic operations. We shall mainly be concerned with public key operations since those are the most complex to implement. For example, when we introduce RSA or DSA later we will have to perform a modular exponentiation with respect to a modulus of a thousand or more bits. This means we need to understand the implementation issues involved with both modular arithmetic and exponentiation algorithms.
