Bitcoin key mechanism and elliptic curves over finite fields
- ecesena 8y agoThe same is true also for eth and many other cryptocurrencies. The only thing that changes is how from a point (public key) you derive the final address, and which alphabet you use to encode it in a readable form.
- paulpauper 8y agoAlso fascinating is that curves of higher order power also have properties similar to elliptic curves
- ppflwn 8y agoWhat do you mean by higher order power?
- ecesena 8y agoPerhaps genus for hyperelliptic curves, or dimension for abelian varieties?
- paulpauper 8y agothe burnside curve which is given by y^2=x^5-x also has a half period ratio and a hypergeoemtric function representation for the enclosed part
