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:

Dragongate Technologies has open source C++ & Java implementations:

Elliptic Curve Cryptography is part of the Java Cryptography API.

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.
