Elliptic Curve Cryptography Explained

Public key infrastructure (PKI) relies on two different cryptographic keys, a public key and a private key, to encrypt and decrypt data. These complex algorithms use mathematical formulas to generate digital certificates with unique digital identities to secure information.

Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) is one method of generating these key pairs that has proven to be an effective way to secure data. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has endorsed ECC as a recommended algorithm for secure key …
