Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) ECC is an asymmetric encryption algorithm that offers strong security with shorter key lengths compared to RSA. It leverages the properties of elliptic curves over finite fields, providing security with significantly reduced computational overhead. Due to its efficiency ...

How Does Cryptography Work? The best way to understand simple cryptography is to look at one of its earliest forms, the Caesar cipher. Julius Caesar used it to encrypt confidential correspondence between him and his officials. Caesar encrypted his messages by changing the order of the alphabetical...
Asymmetric-Key Ciphers:this encryption type utilizes what is known as a public key and a private key. A public key is used to encrypt data, while a private key decrypts the encrypted data Elliptical Curve Cryptography (ECC):uses an elliptic curve equation to create keys that are much shorter...
I’ve previously looked at doing asymmetric crypto withopensslusing thegenrsa,rsa, andrsautlcommands. This uses RSA, which is one way to do asymmetric crypto. An alternative way is elliptic-curve crypto (ECC), andopensslhas commands for ECC too. ...
ECC (Elliptic-curve cryptography) El Gamal DSA (Digital Signature Algorithm) Symmetric encryption is a type of encryption where only one key is used to encrypt and decrypt the information. In this situation, both sender and recipient share the same encryption key. Some examples of symmetric encryp...
Now, how does it work? Well Elliptic Curve cryptographyis based on an equation of the form :y^2 = (x^3 + a * x + b) mod p First thing you notice is that there is a modulo and that the ‘y‘ is squared (don't forget this is the equation of a curve on a graph). This ...
Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) certificates offer faster SSL/TLS encryption. It’s also more efficient in negotiation for secure connections with PFS. ECC’s reduced computational load compared to traditional RSA certificates ensures strong security. Best of all, it is done without significantly imp...

The mathematical properties used to make public and private keys today are Elliptic-curve cryptography (ECC), Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA), and Diffie-Hellman. Each uses different algorithms to make encryption keys. However, they each share the same overall principles regarding how the public and ...
