ECC, the crypto
ECC (Elliptic Curve Cryptography) is a type of public-key cryptography that is based on the mathematics of elliptic curves.
The point
The main point of ECC is to provide secure communication over a non-secure channel such as the internet. It does this by ensuring that messages can only be read by their intended recipient and that the identity of the sender is confirmed.
The problem
ECC tries to solve the problem of secure communication over a non-secure channel. Traditional cryptography methods rely on the difficulty of factoring large numbers, but the security of these methods can be compromised by advances in computer technology. ECC offers a more secure alternative by using smaller key sizes and more complex mathematics which makes it resistant to attacks even from quantum computers.
