Question

Elliptic curve cryptography is considered as the latest and probably the one with a future. Having seen RSA in earlier modules, in which ways do YOU think elliptic cryptography is more advanced than RSA. You may read other material or get this information from the internet to answer this question. But make sure to provide necessary references when you do cite others.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is below.

Explanation:

Some of the ways, how I think elliptic cryptography is more advanced than RSA are the following:

1. ECC - Elliptic Curve Cryptography uses smaller keys for the same level of security, particularly at greater levels of security.

2. ECC can work well and at a faster rate on a small-capacity device compared to RSA

3. It uses offer speedier SSL handshakes that enhance security

4. It offers fast signatures

5. It allows signatures to be computed in two stages, which enables lower latency than inverse throughput.

6. Relatively quick encryption and decryption
