Elliptic Curve and public key calculation
Elliptic Curve and public key calculation I'm new to cryptography and math isn't my strong side. However, I am eager to learn how to calculate the public key from a given private key. What I gathered so far, is that I need to multiply the decimal representation of the private key by the base point G. So we have example of private key: 18E14A7B6A307F426A94F8114701E7C8E774E7F9A47E2C2035DB29A206321725 Which translates to 11253563012059685825953619222107823549092147699031672238385790369351542642469. And we have base point G: Gx = 55066263022277343669578718895168534326250603453777594175500187360389116729240 Gy = 32670510020758816978083085130507043184471273380659243275938904335757337482424 We also have parameter P, which I'm not sure what it represents: p = 115792089237316195423570985008687907853269984665640564039457584007908834671663 Given the above parameters, what's the actual process for calculating the public key? I would very much appreciate any form of help in unde...
