ZK-PAR 0x01 - The Generation of Elliptic Curves in Cryptography - Youssef El Housni

This presentation is a dive into the history of Elliptic Curve Cryptography and the generation processes for applications ranging from signatures to Zero Knowledge Proof. We will be going over the different purposes of using EC and the different requirements in their generations. We will be also going over the generation methods and the output families for each purpose. Bio: Youssef is a cryptography engineer working at EY to build and deliver to clients blockchain solutions with focus on privacy issues. Prior to joining EY, he worked in R&D at a French startup, called Secure-IC, on different topics ranging from video steganography to side-channel attacks on post-quantum cryptography.
