Why do we use $a=1$ in elliptic curves?
$y^2 + xy = x^3 + ax^2 + b$ is the elliptic curve over $\mathbb F_{2^m}$.
In the elliptic curve standard, most of the curves use $a=1$ a lot.
Is there any mapping for this such that $y^2 + xy = x^3 +...

What’s the relationship between P-256 and Dual EC DRBG?
It is said that Dual EC DRBG has a backdoor given the values of the curve. Hence some people do not trust it.
With that in mind, some people also distrust NIST P-256 Curve. Why? Is it purely because ...
