But why elliptic curve groups instead of, I don't know, some subgroup of GL(n, F_p) or something. Is it just that they happen to be the best known groups right

But why elliptic curve groups instead of, I don't know, some subgroup of GL(n, F_p) or something. Is it just that they happen to be the best known groups right now?
- adgjlsfhk1 4y agoI think a lot of the rain might just be that the proof of Fermat's last theorem led to the development of a lot of theory for elliptic curves which happened to show that they work well for crypto.
