Elliptic-curve cryptography (ECC) is a public-key cryptography approach based on the algebraic structure of elliptic curves over finite fields. ECC can be used in cryptography applications and primitives, such as key agreements, digital signatures, and pseudo-random generators. They can be used for operations such as encryption, an operation that is achieved through a combination between key agreements with a symmetric encryption scheme. Some other interesting usages can be ...
