🧠 What's inside UltrafastSecp256k1:

• BMI2/ADX asm → 3-5× speedup
• CUDA batch: 4.63M keys/sec
• Montgomery batch inverse
• GLV endomorphism
• Zero heap allocs in hot paths
• Constant-time ct:: namespace
• All primitives from scratch

No boost. No openssl. No libsecp256k1. Just C++20.

Exploring the world of the artist known as ECDSA!

In the latest TechAptitude post we dive into the primary cryptographic algorithm used in many blockchain based systems including Bitcoin and Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, and Avalanche - Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA).

We review ECDSA and how it secures cryptocurrencies like BitCoin and Ethereum.

What is an elliptic curve? Informal and formal definition

The informal definition of an elliptic curve is simple. The formal definition is more involved.

Một lập trình viên đã tối ưu tốc độ thư viện đường cong Elliptic, chỉ sử dụng lý thuyết nhóm thuần túy trong toán học, mà không cần đến lập trình cấp thấp (assembly) hay tăng tốc GPU (CUDA). Đây là một thành tựu đáng chú ý trong việc cải thiện hiệu suất mật mã.

🥸 Oh, look! Another cryptographic revelation! Diffie-Hellman is dead, long live Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman! 🤯 Because what the world definitely needed was more #jargon masquerading as progress. 🧙‍♂️

There is no Diffie-Hellman but Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman

When I first learned about Diffie-Hellman and especially elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman, I had one rather obvious question: Why elliptic curves? Why use this strange group that seems rather arbitrar…

What isn't linked from those four pages above, however, is the one gem I had been pointed to some time ago. And hadn't made the connection that this was the same person!

Michael Driscoll's «The Animated Elliptic Curve» really helped me in understanding Elliptic Curve Cryptography with its wonderful, well-described animations which you can replay until you understand them.

#AntiStatusReport: belatedly noticed that #Launchpad now supports #EllipticCurve keys so I no longer need a special #OpenPGP key just to upload to my #Ubuntu #PPA repos!
