 Elliptic Curve Cryptography is a type of assymetric or public-key cryptography based on the discrete logarithm problem as expressed by multiplication on the the points of an elliptic curve over a finite prime field.

 In elliptic curve cryptography, a predetermined _generator_ point on an elliptic curve is multiplied by a _private key_, which is simply a 256-bit number, to produce another point somewhere else on the curve, which is the corresponding public key. In most implementations, the private and public keys are stored together as a _key pair_. However, it is trivial to re-produce the public key if one has the private key, so storing only the private key is also possible.
