DEFINITION OF ELLIPTIC CURVE
CRYPTOGRAPHY(ECC)
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 key.

Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) was discovered

in 1985 by Victor Miller (IBM) and Neil Koblitz
(University of Washington) as an alternative mechanism
for implementing public-key cryptography.
Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) is a type of public key cryptography that utilizes
the mathematics of elliptic curves to provide secure communication and
encryption.

1. Elliptic Curves: ECC operates on elliptic curves defined by an equation of the

form y² = x³ + ax + b, where a and b are constants, and the curve is defined
over a finite field.

2. Key Generation: ECC uses two keys: a private key and a corresponding public
key. The private key is a randomly generated number within a certain range.
The public key is derived from the private key using mathematical operations
on the elliptic curve.

3. Point Addition and Doubling: ECC operations primarily involve point

operations on the elliptic curve. Points on the curve are represented as (x, y)
coordinates. Addition and doubling are the two fundamental operations used in
ECC.
 4. Scalar Multiplication: ECC employs scalar multiplication, which is the
repeated application of point addition or doubling with a scalar value
(private key). Scalar multiplication involves multiplying a point on the
curve by an integer value.

5. Discrete Logarithm Problem: The security of ECC is based on the

difficulty of solving the discrete logarithm problem on the elliptic curve.

6. Key Exchange and Encryption: ECC can be used for various

cryptographic operations, such as key exchange and encryption. For key
exchange, two parties can derive a shared secret by each using their private
keys and the other party's public key to compute a shared point on the
elliptic curve. This shared point can then be used to derive a shared secret
key. For encryption, the shared secret key can be used with a symmetric
encryption algorithm to securely encrypt and decrypt data.

1. Secure Messaging and Encryption: ECC can be used for secure messaging applications, email
encryption, and secure file storage.

2. Cryptocurrency and Blockchain: Many cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin and Ethereum, use
ECC-based cryptographic algorithms for securing transactions and wallets.

3. Secure Communication: ECC provides the foundation for secure communication protocols, such
as the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol used in secure web browsing.

4. Digital Signatures: ECC is also used for generating and verifying digital signatures. The Elliptic
Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) is a widely adopted ECC-based signature scheme.

5. Key Exchange: ECC is widely used for key exchange protocols, such as the Elliptic Curve Diffie-
Hellman (ECDH) algorithm. ECDH allows two parties to establish a shared secret key over an
insecure channel. The parties use their private keys and each other's public keys to compute a
shared secret, which can then be used for symmetric encryption or other cryptographic
operations.

Advantages

1. Strong Security with Smaller Key Sizes: ECC provides a high level
of security with smaller key sizes compared to other cryptographic
algorithms like RSA.
2. Computational Efficiency: ECC operations, such as key generation,
encryption, and decryption, are computationally more efficient
compared to other cryptographic systems. The underlying
mathematical operations on elliptic curves, such as point additions
and doublings, are less computationally intensive.
3. Bandwidth and Storage Efficiency: Smaller key sizes result in
shorter cryptographic messages, reducing the amount of data
transmitted or stored.

Disadvantages

1. Implementation Complexity: Implementing ECC correctly can be more

challenging compared to other cryptographic algorithms. ECC involves
complex mathematical operations on elliptic curves, such as point
additions and doublings, which require careful implementation to avoid
potential vulnerabilities.

2. Key Management. The generation of random and secure private keys is crucial
for maintaining the security of the system. Additionally, if key management
practices are not implemented correctly, it can lead to key compromise and
subsequent security breaches.
