      In recent   years, several  studies have  been   conducted on software
      implementation of elliptic curve cryptosystems (ECC).  In this note we
      have collected several details of reported software implementations of
      these  cryptosystems. For each  implementation considered, we include,
      if available,  the platform used, and running  times for: finite field
      operations,  scalar multiplications, and  protocols such as the ECDSA.
      This compilation  is organized  in  five sections:  performance of ECC
      over $F_{2^m}$, performance of ECC over $F_p$, performance of ECC over
      $F_{p^m}$,  implementations   comparing  $F_{2^m}$  and  $F_p$,  and
      implementations comparing  ECC with other   public-key systems such as
      RSA and DL.
