Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) is the powerful security protocol used for everything from credit card transitions to the blockchain. This reader-friendly book guides you step-by-step until you're ready to write embedded systems code with advanced mathematical algorithms.

Learn how to implement smaller, more secure public key protocols with this accessible guide to Elliptic Curve Cryptography.

Elliptic Curve Cryptography for Developers introduces a powerful alternative to the prime number-based RSA encryption standard based on the mathematics of elliptic curves. This book empowers anyone who knows basic calculus to implement state-of-the-art cryptographic protocols that are smaller and more secure than RSA-based systems. It gradually introduces the concepts and subroutines you'll need to master with diagrams, flow charts, and accessible language.

Elliptic Curve Cryptography for Developers includes:

• Clear, well-illustrated introductions to key ECC concepts
• Implementing efficient digital signature algorithms
• State of the art zero knowledge proofs
• Blockchain applications with ECC-backed security
