Elliptic Curve Cryptography

Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) is a form of digital security based on the mathematics of elliptic curves—special equations describing smooth, curved lines. ECC uses these curves to create cryptographic keys that are hard to reverse-engineer, enabling secure communication, digital signatures, and data encryption. Compared to other methods, ECC offers strong security with shorter keys, making it efficient for devices with limited resources. Essentially, ECC leverages complex mathematical properties of elliptic curves to protect information, providing secure and efficient encryption suitable for modern digital needs.
