Security is must everywhere. We have to secure our data at all places like online banking, e-commerce etc. , Cryptography doesn't have to be so cryptic. AES, DES, RSA, ECC -- there are so many ways to encrypt our data. Example: company's protecting customer credit card information, securing remote user connections to our network or protecting our intellectual property from digital piracy, we're using encryption every day. In 1980s, there was only one real choice -- the Data Encryption Standard (DES). Today, we have a broad selection of stronger, faster and better-designed algorithms. Now, the problem is to sort out which algorithm to be used. Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) is one of the most powerful but least understood types of cryptography in wide use today. An increasing number of websites make extensive use of ECC to secure everything from customers HTTPS connections to how they pass data between data centers. So, it's important for end users to understand the technology behind any security system in order to trust it.
