Abstract
This research presents wide performance revision and investigation of two famous public key cryptosystems, Elliptic Curve Cryptography and RSA. Considered RSA as the first age band in public key cryptography which is well-known since its beginning. Now ECC gradually replacing RSA and start grabbing all the attentions. Beside revision and investigation this research also suggests who is superior based on the experimental and statistical fact. This research shows the outcome of the different characteristic of cryptosystems: encryption and decryption time, key generation time/key size recommended by NIST, signature generation/ signature verification, time complexity, computational cost. After analysis of these outcome this research concludes that ECC way better than RSA. ECC is better in majority aspects. An ECC based cryptosystem is idle special for memory constrained devices. ECC consume less resource and require less computational cost than RSA.
