ECC
Elliptic Curve Cryptography
ECC is an asymmetric encryption approach based on elliptic curve mathematics. It provides equivalent security to RSA with much smaller key sizes, improving performance.
Cómo se usa en ciberseguridad
Cybersecurity teams adopt ECC for TLS certificates and mobile device encryption where processing power is limited. Security architects specify ECC curves like P-256 for key exchange in modern cipher suites. Security engineers migrate from RSA to ECC to reduce handshake overhead on high-traffic services.
