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 concepts
- Implementing efficient digital signature algorithms
- State of the art zero knowledge proofs
- Blockchain applications with ECC-backed security
