- Abstract
- Elliptic Curve Cryptography is one of the best options for protecting sensitive information. The lastest version of the Java platform includes a cryptographic provider, named SunEC, that implements some elliptic curve operations and protocols. However, potential users of this provider are limited by the lack of information available. In this work, we present an extensive review of the SunEC provider and, in addition to that, we offer to the reader the complete code of three applications that will allow programmers to generate key pairs, perform key exchanges, and produce digital signatures with elliptic curves in Java.
