Elliptic curves

Here you choose between three different elliptic curves. You can select multiple curves. All three are selected by default.

Crypto-algorithms are usually executed within mathematical bodies. A mathematical body can be implemented with prime number modules and by means of a discrete elliptic curve.

The mathematical operations on elliptic curves are more complex to compute than operations in finite bodies of a comparable size. The shorter keys, however, allow crypto-systems based on elliptic curves to be faster than crypto-systems of comparable security levels based on a prime number module.
