Notes on ECC (Elliptic Curve Cryptography) & Internship progress

blog

One last exam, ECC, and then I’m free to do whatever I want (no I still haven’t found an internship, but I talked with TrueVault, Cloudflare, MatterMark, Spotify and maybe Matasano so this has been a good experience nonetheless).

I stumbled upon the notes of Ben Lynn an ex Stanford’s student that took an ECC class there. They’re pretty awesome and I kinda want to do something like that on this blog. Maybe next year it’s a bit late for that :)

The notes are here
