==== Elliptic Curve Cryptography Explained
Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) is a type of asymmetric
Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) is((("public key cryptography", "elliptic curve cryptography as", id="pub-key-ecc")))((("elliptic curve cryptography (ECC)", id="ecc"))) a type of asymmetric
or public key cryptography based on the discrete logarithm problem as
expressed by addition and multiplication on the points of an elliptic
curve.

Now that we have defined addition, we can define multiplication in the
standard way that extends addition. For a point P on the elliptic curve,
if k is a whole number, then kP = P + P + P + ... + P (k times). Note
that k is sometimes confusingly called an "exponent" in this case.
