Elliptic Curve Cryptography for Developers

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
