Elliptic Curve Cryptography

Target entity: Elliptic Curve Cryptography
Context triple: [RSA, comparedWith, Elliptic Curve Cryptography]

• A. New Directions in Cryptography
  New Directions in Cryptography is a landmark 1976 paper that introduced the concepts of public-key cryptography and digital signatures, fundamentally reshaping modern cryptography and secure communications.
• B. Diffie–Hellman key exchange
  Diffie–Hellman key exchange is a foundational cryptographic protocol that enables two parties to securely establish a shared secret over an insecure communication channel.
• C. RSA
  RSA is a widely used public-key cryptographic algorithm that enables secure key exchange and digital signatures in many internet security protocols.
• D. Probabilistic Encryption
  Probabilistic Encryption is a cryptographic technique that uses randomness in the encryption process so that the same message encrypts to different ciphertexts, enhancing security against attackers.
• E. Advanced Encryption Standard
  Advanced Encryption Standard is a widely used symmetric block cipher standard that secures digital data in applications ranging from wireless networks to government communications.
• F. None of above. chosen
• G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
