Because the curve expresses a mathematical function, a point on the curve represents a solution to the equation and, therefore, if we know the _x_ coordinate, we can calculate the _y_ coordinate by -solving the equation y^2^ mod p = (x^3^ + 7) mod p. That allows us to +solving the equation [.keep-together]#y^2^ mod p = (x^3^ + 7) mod p.# That allows us to store only the _x_ coordinate of the public key point, omitting the _y_ coordinate and reducing the size of the key and the space required to store it by 256 bits. An almost 50% reduction in size in every
