Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) and malware

What is ECC, and how does it work? This technology powers Bitcoin and Ethereum, encrypts your iMessages, and is part of virtually every significant website you visit.

In the realm of public-key cryptography, ECC is a sort of system. On the other hand, this category of systems is based on difficult “one-way” mathematical problems, which are simple to compute in one direction but impossible to solve in the other direction. These functions are sometimes referred to as “trapdoor” functions since they are simple to enter but difficult to pull out of.

In 1977, both the RSA algorithm and the Diffie-Hellman key exchange algorithm were introduced. The revolutionary nature of these new algorithms lies in the fact that they were the first practical cryptographic schemes that were based on the theory of numbers. Furthermore, they were the first to permit safe communication between two parties without the need for a...
