What the hell is an elliptic curve?


Delve into the wonderful world of elliptic curves and how they are used in cryptography.

f: R → RElliptic curves are used in various cryptographic algorithms, including digital signatures, key exchange, and encryption. They can provide the same level of security with smaller key sizes, which means faster computations and less storage space. It's a powerful mathematical tool that plays a crucial role in keeping your data safe and secure in the digital world.
