4/21/2019

This blog post serves as a primer on elliptic curve cryptography (ECC), a type of encryption that offers high security with relatively small key sizes. It explains the basic concepts of ECC, including elliptic curves, points on curves, and scalar multiplication. The post also discusses the mathematical properties that make ECC secure, such as the difficulty of calculating discrete logarithms. Additionally, it provides insights into the advantages of ECC over other cryptographic systems, such as RSA, and discusses common use cases for ECC in secure communication protocols. Overall, this primer offers a clear and accessible introduction to the fundamentals of elliptic curve cryptography.
