Elliptic-curve cryptography (ECC)

• is an approach to public-key cryptography based on the algebraic structure of elliptic curves over finite fields
• requires smaller keys compared to non-EC (Elliptic-Curve) cryptography (based on plain Galois fields) to provide equivalent security.

Elliptic-Curve Cryptographic Schemes

• Elliptic Curve Diffie–Hellman (ECDH) key agreement scheme is based on the Diffie–Hellman scheme
• Elliptic Curve Integrated Encryption Scheme (ECIES), also known as Elliptic Curve Augmented Encryption Scheme or simply the Elliptic Curve Encryption Scheme
• Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) is based on the Digital Signature Algorithm
• deformation scheme using Harrison’s p-adic Manhattan metric
• Edwards-curve Digital Signature Algorithm (EdDSA) is based on Schnorr signature and uses twisted Edwards curves
• ECMQV key agreement scheme is based on the MQV key agreement scheme
• ECQV implicit certificate scheme
