Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) is a cryptographic system that provides the same level of security as traditional cryptographic algorithms but with smaller key sizes. This is achieved through the use of elliptic curves, which are mathematical structures defined by an equation of the form y^2 = x^3 + ax + b. ECC relies on the
