Key Agreement and Signature Schemes using Elliptic Curves

We review the well-known Diffie-Hellman key agreement
protocol and the ElGamal signature scheme. We then show
how these protocols can be made faster and more memory
efficient by using the group of points on an elliptic
curve. No prior knowledge of cryptography or elliptic
curves is assumed.
