# Elliptic Curve Cryptography

Elliptic curve cryptography takes advantage of the intractability of the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem.

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over a Galois (finite) field $\mathbb{F}_q$. Point addition forms a cyclic group
on $E(\mathbb{F}_q)$ with a generator point $G \in E(\mathbb{F}_q)$ and a point at infinite $\mathcal{O}$ such that:

$$
\forall P, Q \in E(\mathbb{F}_q) : P + Q = R \in E(\mathbb{F}_q)
\forall P \in E(\mathbb{F}_q) : P + \mathcal{O} = P
\forall P \in E(\mathbb{F}_q) : P + (-P) = \mathcal{O}
$$

Scalar multiplication is defined as iterative point addition such that:

$$
\forall P \in E(\mathbb{F}_q), k \in \mathbb{Z} : k \times P = P_k \in E(\mathbb{F}_q)
\forall P_k \in E(\mathbb{F}_q), \exists k \in \mathbb{Z} : k \times G = P_k
$$

## Application

The discrete logarithm problem and algebraic structure of elliptic curve point addition and scalar multiplication
allows for public key cryptography schemes such as digital signatures
([ECDSA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic_Curve_Digital_Signature_Algorithm)) and key exchanges
([ECDH](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic-curve_Diffie%E2%80%93Hellman)).

// PARAMETERS
// *******************************************
// CURVE the elliptic curve field and equation used
// G a point on the curve that generates a subgroup of large prime order n
// n integer order of G, means that n × G = O, n must also be prime.
// d_A the local private key (randomly selected) (scaler in F_n)
// Q_A the local public key d_A × G = Q_A (point on the curve)
// d_B the foreign private key (randomly selected) (scaler in F_n)
// Q_B the foreign public key d_B × G = Q_B (point on the curve)
// S the shared secret point S = d_A × Q_B = d_B × Q_A

/// SHARED SECRET COMPUTATION
/// *******************************************
/// 1. Compute the shared secret point S = d_A × Q_B.
///
/// ## Notes:
/// Elliptic Curve Diffie Hellman (ECDH) exchanges a shared secret over an insecure channel via the
/// commutativity and associativity of elliptic curve point multiplication.
///
/// d_A × (d_B × G) = d_B × (d_A × G)
/// d_B × Q_A = d_A × Q_B
