Elliptic Curve - Algorithms That Use Elliptic Curves

Algorithms That Use Elliptic Curves

Elliptic curves over finite fields are used in some cryptographic applications as well as for integer factorization. Typically, the general idea in these applications is that a known algorithm which makes use of certain finite groups is rewritten to use the groups of rational points of elliptic curves.
