Abstract
This chapter consists of short descriptions of a few elliptic-curve cryptosystems. Examples of three types of cryptosystem are given: message encryption, key agreement, and digital signatures. The descriptions are intended to provide no more than a context for the arithmetic, and the reader who wishes to properly learn about the systems should consult the relevant literature.
