The process of creating and verifying a digital signature using asymmetric cryptography is a cornerstone of modern cybersecurity, ensuring the authenticity and integrity of digital messages. This mechanism leverages the principles of public-key cryptography, which involves a pair of keys: a private key and a public key. The private key is kept secret by the

Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) is a form of public-key cryptography that leverages the algebraic structure of elliptic curves over finite fields. The general form of the equation that defines an elliptic curve used in ECC is a crucial aspect of its mathematical foundation and security properties. An elliptic curve, in the context of ECC, is
