==Security analysis of ECC==

Interesting research and summary of security for different ECC: https://safecurves.cr.yp.to/ <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/153.46.253.213|153.46.253.213]] ([[User talk:153.46.253.213#top|talk]]) 14:18, 4 August 2023 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

==Algorithm needed==

This article doesn't contain the algorithm for ECC like the RSA article does. <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/198.52.160.180|198.52.160.180]] ([[User talk:198.52.160.180#top|talk]]) 20:30, 6 December 2019 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== The first paragraph seems self-contradictory ==

The first paragraph states that ECC is based on finite fields, as opposed to non-EC cryptography, which is based on plain Galois fields. However, the referenced article on [[Finite field|finite fields]] explains that finite fields and Galois fields are one and the same. I suspect the intended meaning is that non-EC crypto is based structures over finite fields which are not elliptic curves. If so, this is not clear from the text. I won't change the formulation myself, since I'm not an expert in the field. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:VecLuci|VecLuci]] ([[User talk:VecLuci#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/VecLuci|contribs]]) 04:13, 10 October 2018 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Not a typo. 521, not 512. ==

"Five prime fields <math>\mathbb{F}_p</math> for certain primes ''p'' of sizes 192, 224, 256, 384, and <nowiki>{{Not a typo|521}}</nowiki> bits. For each of the prime fields, one elliptic curve is recommended."

Should there be a footnote about that 521 not being a typo? It really is 521 (see [https://crypto.stackexchange.com/questions/62083/why-would-diffie-hellman-group-21-be-521-bits-rather-than-512] among many, many sources) but it really looks like someone mis-typed "512".
