About this Item

Hardcover. Learn how to implement smaller, more secure public key protocols with this accessible guide to Elliptic Curve Cryptography. Elliptic Curve Cryptography for Developers introduces a powerful alternative to the prime number-based RSA encryption standard based on the mathematics of elliptic curves. This book empowers anyone who knows basic calculus to implement state-of-the-art cryptographic protocols that are smaller and more secure than RSA-based systems. It gradually introduces the concepts and subroutines you'll need to master with diagrams, flow charts, and accessible language. Elliptic Curve Cryptography for Developers includes: Clear, well-illustrated introductions to key ECC conceptsImplementing efficient digital signature algorithmsState of the art zero knowledge proofsBlockchain applications with ECC-backed security Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) is the powerful security protocol used for everything from credit card transitions to the blockchain. This reader-friendly book guides you step-by-step until you're ready to write embedded systems code with advanced mathematical algorithms.
