- chr1 2y agoPrime numbers and elliptic curves are much more connected than one might expect. Each elliptic curve generates a function similar to zeta function, and there is a version of a Riemann hypothesis for elliptic curves https://m.youtube.com/@PeakMathLandscape https://m.youtube.com/@PeakMathLandscape
- less_less 2y agoECC is pretty closely related to the study of prime numbers. It might not be built directly on the difficulty of factoring, but the theory of how to construct curves, how to use them, what's expected to be secure etc goes pretty deep.
