ECC is an approach to public-key cryptography based on the algebraic structure of elliptic curves over finite fields. ECC allows smaller keys compared to non-EC cryptography (based on plain Galois fields) to provide equivalent security. Elliptic curves are applicable for key agreement, digital signatures, pseudorandom generators, and other tasks. they can be used for encryption by combining the key agreement with an asymmetric encryption scheme.

in elliptic curve over finite field we get two values of y for each x now how can we draw el...

The curve $y^2=x^3+a\,x+b$ with $x$, $y$ in the field $\mathbb R$ of reals has infinitely many point. It is continuous (with for some choices of parameters 2 disjoint pieces). It is symmetrical with …

The Generator point and Mod P in ECDSA

The video (at least, where the question links) illustrates the Baby-step/Giant-step Discrete Logarithm method in the multiplicative group modulo $p$, for prime $p$. That is the set $\{1,2,\ldots,p-2,p …

Modulo p in Elliptic Curve Cryptography

To carry out Elliptic Curve Cryptography between parties, are all elliptic curve equations considered to be in the form $\bmod p$? Yes for secp256k1 when it comes to point coordinates, but not for e …
