Abstract

The cryptography of elliptical curve (ECC) is an approach in cryptography public key based on the algebraic structure of elliptical curves on the finished fields; a smaller group can be used to obtain the same level of security as RSA-based. In this article a simple presentation on cryptography with focus on elliptic curve algorithm, examine its security, benefits and its functions with privacy issues. The last part of this article is "protection and privacy components", for each component the article look at privacy issue then examine the elliptic curve angle to be used with the component. These work results in using elliptic curve in multipart security (or single party) is more efficient in key size, speed and retrieve encrypted information.
