Is ECC at all mathematically related to Kepler's equation? (although now that i look at it, I'm not confident that is a trapdoor function because while its much easier to code one way than the other, the sin function itself needs an iterative approximation).
- Robotbeat 5y agoUsually need lossless integer math for cryptography to work. So the form might be similar, but you’re working over finite fields (ie of integers mod some number), not real numbers. (Okay, I have only a tenuous understanding of this myself. I’m a physicist, not a mathematician! Mathematicians are intimidating.)
- lamontcg 5y agoYeah that's where I should have taken abstract algebra in college (I did get up to graduate level QM though in physics).
- less_less 5y agoNot really. Elliptic Curves are only distantly related to ellipses. You can soooorta do the same thing with an ellipse instead, but it's not nearly as secure.
