Elliptic Curve Cryptography: What it is and who needs it

Presented at NolaCon 2019, May 19, 2019, 11:30 a.m. (Unknown duration).

Encryption with Elliptic Curve Cryptography achieves the same level of security as methods like RSA, but with a much smaller key and thus lower power consumption. Find out how it works, why it's useful, and why The Internet of Things needs this method of encryption.
