| | | | | Last time we defined and gave some examples of rings. Recapping, a ring is a special kind of group with an additional multiplication operation that "plays nicely" with addition. The important thing to remember is that a ring is intended to remind us arithmetic with integers (though not too much: multiplication in a ring need not be commutative). We proved some basic properties, like zero being unique and negation being well-behaved. | |

| | | So far in this series we've seen elliptic curves from many perspectives, including the elementary, algebraic, and programmatic ones. We implemented finite field arithmetic and connected it to our elliptic curve code. So we're in a perfect position to feast on the main course: how do we use elliptic curves to actually do cryptography? History As the reader has heard countless times in this series, an elliptic curve is a geometric object whose points have a surprising and well-defined notion of addition. | ||
