Elliptic Curve Cryptography is 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.

The +mod p+ indicates that this curve is over a finite field of prime order +p+, also written as latexmath:[\(\mathbb{F}_p\)]. The curve looks like a pattern of dots scattered in two dimensions, which makes it difficult to visualize. However, the math is identical as that of an elliptic curve over the real numbers shown above.
