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 ...

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

PsiQuantum’s latest paper describes a more efficient method to break Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) which is widely used for secure communications. This approach uses techniques especially ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
