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.
Como é usado em cibersegurança
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.
