The elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem (ECDLP) lies at the heart of modern public-key cryptography. It concerns the challenge of determining an unknown scalar multiplier given two points on an ...

Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) has emerged as a favoured approach in modern cryptography, notably due to its ability to deliver robust security with relatively small key sizes. Extensive hardware ...

In August, a pair of mathematicians discovered an exotic, record-breaking curve. In doing so, they tapped into a major open question about one of the oldest and most fundamental kinds of equations in ...
