Elliptic Curve Groups: The Mathematical Engine Behind Modern Digital Identity
If you’ve ever read a specification like WebAuthn, DID Core, SD-JWT VC, BBS Signatures, OID4VCI, or OID4VP, you’ve probably encountered references to P-256, secp256k1, Ed25519, or BLS12–381.

Elliptic Curve Cryptography: The Tiny Keys That Protect the Internet
If you’ve spent any time reading about modern cryptography, you’ve probably encountered the phrase Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC). It sounds less like a security technology and more like an elective mathematics course that everyone regrets taking — I’ve been in several of those.

Post-Quantum Cryptography (2026): Preparing for the End of RSA and ECC
For decades, modern cybersecurity has relied on a handful of cryptographic foundations. Technologies such as RSA and Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) protect everything from online banking and VPNs to software updates and digital signatures. These algorithms have withstood years of scrutiny and…
