Elliptic Curve Cryptography Explained in Under 5 Minutes 🔐

ECC, or Elliptic Curve Cryptography, is the most secure and modern way of doing Cryptography. But what is it really? What are the most important parts of understanding ECC? In this video, we give you the framework for seeing that ECC is really not all that different from the Cryptography you might already be familiar with.
