Elliptic Curve Cryptography Links
This page is notes to myself.
Paula Barreto seems to be at the center of much of the Elliptic Curve cryptography. His Cryptix Elliptix package is available in Java. Doing large-number based crypto without a bignum package is as ridiculous as doing Newton's mechanics without calculus. So Java (or Ruby or Python or Lisp) is a good language to use.

There's an IEEE standard:

James D.'s Crypto Kong uses a different kind of public key crypto with elliptic curves. His implementation is in C++ & Visual Basic, and runs only on Windows.
