Elliptic Curve Cryptography

Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) is a public key encryption technique that can create faster, smaller, and more efficient cryptographic keys. ECC generates keys through properties of elliptic curve equations rather than large prime numbers. ECC requires significantly smaller key sizes than traditional methods for the same level of security, offering benefits like faster computations and less storage space. ECC is ideal for constrained environments like phones and smart cards.

Elliptic Curve Cryptography

Elliptical curve cryptography (ECC) is a


public key encryption technique based on
elliptic curve theory that can be used to
create faster, smaller, and more efficient
cryptographic keys.

ECC generates keys through the properties
of the elliptic curve equation instead of the
traditional method of generation as the
product of very large prime numbers

Elliptic Curve Cryptography

 ECC requires significantly smaller key size


with same level of security.
 Benefits of having smaller key sizes :
faster computations, need less storage
space.
 ECC ideal for constrained environments :
Pagers ; PDAs ; Cellular Phones ; Smart
Cards.

elliptic curve
Elliptic curves are not ellipses. They are so
named because they are described by
cubic equations, used for calculating the
circumference of an ellipse.
An elliptic curve is a set of points (x, y), for
which it is true that
y2 = x3 + ax + b given certain chosen
numbers a and b.
