Abstract
Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) forms together with RSA and discrete logarithm schemes the third family of public-key algorithms that are currently widely used. ECC was introduced independently by Neal Koblitz and Victor Miller in the mid- 1980s, that is about 10 years later than RSA and the Diffie–Hellman key exchange.
