#+title: Curve25519

#+date: <2021-12-23>

[[https://research.nccgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/A_Tour_of_Curve25519_in_Erlang-1.pdf][A tour of Curve25519]] is a great introduction on elliptic curve encryption.  It explains how EC is like modular arithmetic, with the analogue what multiplication to EC is what exponentiation to modular arithmetic.
