Q45 / 100
What is elliptic curve cryptography (ECC)?
Correct! Well done.
Incorrect.
The correct answer is B) An asymmetric cryptography approach based on elliptic curve discrete logarithm, offering equivalent security to RSA with much smaller keys
B
Correct Answer
An asymmetric cryptography approach based on elliptic curve discrete logarithm, offering equivalent security to RSA with much smaller keys
Explanation
ECC provides the same security as RSA with far smaller keys: 256-bit ECC ≈ 3072-bit RSA. More efficient for TLS, mobile devices, and IoT. Used in ECDSA (signatures) and ECDH (key exchange).
