Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) uses points on an elliptic curve to derive a 163-bit public key that is equivalent in strength to a 1024-bit RSA key.

Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) has emerged as a cornerstone of modern public‐key systems, offering high levels of security with relatively small key sizes. Central to many advanced ...

The founder of Certicom Corp. shifted his company from standard public-key cryptography systems to the untested elliptic-curve approach in 1985, only to wait almost 20 years before the National ...

IBM’s quantum computer cracked a 6-bit ECC key—safe for now, but experts warn Bitcoin and Ethereum must prepare for quantum threats.

That’s why a much much computationally expensive key exchange scheme using an asymmetric (or public-key) cryptography scheme is generally used to set up the second part of the communications ...

A July 15 report by global consulting firm Capgemini warns that public-key cryptographic systems, including RSA and elliptic curve cryptography (ECC), may be rendered obsolete by quantum machines ...

May 06 2013 Security What IT Managers Should Know About Asymmetric and Elliptic Curve Cryptography Encryption is a key technology for federal agencies. Although encryption is the primary goal, many ...
