With a little C code, high school calculus, and the techniques in this book, you can implement ECC cryptographic protocols that are smaller and more secure than the RSA-based systems in common use today. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eAbout the book\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eElliptic Curve Cryptography for Developers\u003c\/i\u003e teaches you how ECC protocols work and how to implement them seamlessly in C code. Unlike academic cryptography books, this practical guide sticks to the minimum math and theory you need to get the job done. Author Mike Rosing illustrates each concept with clear graphics, detailed code, and hands-on exercises. As you go, you'll practice what you learn by building two encryption systems for a blockchain application. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eWhat's inside\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e- Efficient digital signature algorithms\u003cbr\u003e - Zero-knowledge proofs\u003cbr\u003e - ECC security for blockchain applications \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the reader\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Readers need to understand basic calculus.
