The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) plays a important role in defining standardized curves for use in elliptic curve cryptography (ECC). These standardized curves are publicly available and widely used in various cryptographic applications. Let us consider the process of how NIST defines these curves and discuss their public availability. NIST defines standardized
