Edwards Curves
In mathematics, the Edwards curves are a family of elliptic curves studied by Harold Edwards (mathematician), Harold Edwards in 2007. The concept of elliptic curves over finite fields is widely used in elliptic curve cryptography. Applications of Edwards curves to cryptography were developed by Daniel J. Bernstein and Tanja Lange: they pointed out several advantages of the Edwards form in comparison to the more well known Weierstrass form. Definition The equation of an Edwards curve over a field (mathematics), field ''K'' which does not have Characteristic (algebra), characteristic 2 is: : x^2 + y^2 = 1 + d\ x^2 y^2 \, for some scalar field, scalar d\in K\setminus\. Also the following form with parameters ''c'' and ''d'' is called an Edwards curve: : x^2 + y^2 = c^2(1 + d\ x^2 y^2) \, where ''c'', ''d'' ∈ ''K'' with ''cd''(1 − ''c''4·''d'') ≠ 0. Every Edwards curve is birationally equivalent to an elliptic curve in Montgomery ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Additive Inverse
In mathematics, the additive inverse of an element , denoted , is the element that when added to , yields the additive identity, 0 (zero). In the most familiar cases, this is the number 0, but it can also refer to a more generalized zero element. In elementary mathematics, the additive inverse is often referred to as the opposite number, or its negative. The unary operation of arithmetic negation is closely related to '' subtraction'' and is important in solving algebraic equations. Not all sets where addition is defined have an additive inverse, such as the natural numbers. Common examples When working with integers, rational numbers, real numbers, and complex numbers, the additive inverse of any number can be found by multiplying it by −1. The concept can also be extended to algebraic expressions, which is often used when balancing equations. Relation to subtraction The additive inverse is closely related to subtraction, which can be viewed as an add ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Elliptic Curves
In mathematics, an elliptic curve is a Smoothness, smooth, Projective variety, projective, algebraic curve of Genus of an algebraic curve, genus one, on which there is a specified point . An elliptic curve is defined over a field (mathematics), field and describes points in , the Cartesian product of with itself. If the field's characteristic (algebra), characteristic is different from 2 and 3, then the curve can be described as a plane algebraic curve which consists of solutions for: :y^2 = x^3 + ax + b for some coefficients and in . The curve is required to be Singular point of a curve, non-singular, which means that the curve has no cusp (singularity), cusps or Self-intersection, self-intersections. (This is equivalent to the condition , that is, being square-free polynomial, square-free in .) It is always understood that the curve is really sitting in the projective plane, with the point being the unique point at infinity. Many sources define an elliptic curve to be ...

Table Of Costs Of Operations In Elliptic Curves
Elliptic curve cryptography is a popular form of public key encryption that is based on the mathematical theory of elliptic curves. Points on an elliptic curve can be added and form a group under this addition operation. This article describes the computational costs for this group addition and certain related operations that are used in elliptic curve cryptography algorithms. Abbreviations for the operations The next section presents a table of all the time-costs of some of the possible operations in elliptic curves. The columns of the table are labelled by various computational operations. The rows of the table are for different models of elliptic curves. These are the operations considered: DBL – Doubling ADD – Addition mADD – Mixed addition: addition of an input that has been scaled to have ''Z''-coordinate 1. mDBL – Mixed doubling: doubling of an input that has been scaled to have ''Z''-coordinate 1. TPL – Tripling. DBL+ADD – Combined double-and-add step To se ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Twisted Edwards Curve
In algebraic geometry, the twisted Edwards curves are plane models of elliptic curves, a generalisation of Edwards curves introduced by Bernstein, Birkner, Joye, Lange and Peters in 2008. The curve set is named after mathematician Harold M. Edwards. Elliptic curves are important in public key cryptography and twisted Edwards curves are at the heart of an electronic signature scheme called EdDSA that offers high performance while avoiding security problems that have surfaced in other digital signature schemes. Definition A twisted Edwards curve E_ over a field \mathbb with characteristic not equal to 2 (that is, no element is its own additive inverse) is an affine plane curve defined by the equation: : E_: a x^2+y^2= 1+dx^2y^2 where a, d are distinct non-zero elements of \mathbb. Each twisted Edwards curve is a twist of an Edwards curve. The special case a = 1 is ''untwisted'', because the curve reduces to an ordinary Edwards curve. Every twisted Edwards curve is b ...

Affine Space
In mathematics, an affine space is a geometric structure that generalizes some of the properties of Euclidean spaces in such a way that these are independent of the concepts of distance and measure of angles, keeping only the properties related to parallelism and ratio of lengths for parallel line segments. Affine space is the setting for affine geometry. As in Euclidean space, the fundamental objects in an affine space are called '' points'', which can be thought of as locations in the space without any size or shape: zero-dimensional. Through any pair of points an infinite straight line can be drawn, a one-dimensional set of points; through any three points that are not collinear, a two-dimensional plane can be drawn; and, in general, through points in general position, a -dimensional flat or affine subspace can be drawn. Affine space is characterized by a notion of pairs of parallel lines that lie within the same plane but never meet each-other (non-parallel lines wi ...

Projective Space
In mathematics, the concept of a projective space originated from the visual effect of perspective, where parallel lines seem to meet ''at infinity''. A projective space may thus be viewed as the extension of a Euclidean space, or, more generally, an affine space with points at infinity, in such a way that there is one point at infinity of each direction of parallel lines. This definition of a projective space has the disadvantage of not being isotropic, having two different sorts of points, which must be considered separately in proofs. Therefore, other definitions are generally preferred. There are two classes of definitions. In synthetic geometry, ''point'' and ''line'' are primitive entities that are related by the incidence relation "a point is on a line" or "a line passes through a point", which is subject to the axioms of projective geometry. For some such set of axioms, the projective spaces that are defined have been shown to be equivalent to those resulting from the f ...

Homogeneous Coordinates
In mathematics, homogeneous coordinates or projective coordinates, introduced by August Ferdinand Möbius in his 1827 work , are a system of coordinates used in projective geometry, just as Cartesian coordinates are used in Euclidean geometry. They have the advantage that the coordinates of points, including points at infinity, can be represented using finite coordinates. Formulas involving homogeneous coordinates are often simpler and more symmetric than their Cartesian counterparts. Homogeneous coordinates have a range of applications, including computer graphics and 3D computer vision, where they allow affine transformations and, in general, projective transformations to be easily represented by a matrix. They are also used in fundamental elliptic curve cryptography algorithms. If homogeneous coordinates of a point are multiplied by a non-zero scalar then the resulting coordinates represent the same point. Since homogeneous coordinates are also given to points at infini ...

Hyperbola
In mathematics, a hyperbola is a type of smooth function, smooth plane curve, curve lying in a plane, defined by its geometric properties or by equations for which it is the solution set. A hyperbola has two pieces, called connected component (topology), connected components or branches, that are mirror images of each other and resemble two infinite bow (weapon), bows. The hyperbola is one of the three kinds of conic section, formed by the intersection of a plane (mathematics), plane and a double cone (geometry), cone. (The other conic sections are the parabola and the ellipse. A circle is a special case of an ellipse.) If the plane intersects both halves of the double cone but does not pass through the apex of the cones, then the conic is a hyperbola. Besides being a conic section, a hyperbola can arise as the locus (mathematics), locus of points whose difference of distances to two fixed focus (geometry), foci is constant, as a curve for each point of which the rays to two fix ...

Elliptic Curve
In mathematics, an elliptic curve is a smooth, projective, algebraic curve of genus one, on which there is a specified point . An elliptic curve is defined over a field and describes points in , the Cartesian product of with itself. If the field's characteristic is different from 2 and 3, then the curve can be described as a plane algebraic curve which consists of solutions for: :y^2 = x^3 + ax + b for some coefficients and in .

It is always understood that the curve is really sitting in the projective plane, with the point being the unique point at infinity. Many sources define an elliptic curve to be simply a curve given by an equation of this form. (When the coefficient field has characteristic 2 or 3, the above equation is not quite general enough to include all non-singular cubic cu ...
