Elliptic curves Rust reference implementation

redox-ecc

The purpose of this library is to provide mathematical operations used in elliptic curves.

Features

• Prime field arithmetic.
• Short Weierstrass over prime order groups.
• Montgomery and twisted Edwards curves.

Warning

This implementation is not protected against any kind of attack, including side-channel attacks. Do not use this code for securing any application.

Limitations

• No specify architecture optimizations.
• No side-channel protection, see Warning section.

Improving performance

Currently the performance of the elliptic curve operations is slow. It would be desirable to make operations faster.

Join forces?

Hello! I saw this crate and wanted to note there are a few other overlapping efforts here:

See the RustCrypto elliptic-curve crate and curve-specific crates implemented with it:

• https://github.com/RustCrypto/elliptic-curves/
• https://docs.rs/elliptic-curve

As an example of a curve implemented with it, there's the p256 crate:

• https://docs.rs/p256

These are used by the ecdsa crate:

• https://docs.rs/ecdsa

Note there's also the algebra crate which provides Field and Group traits:

• https://github.com/scipr-lab/zexe/tree/master/algebra

Anyway, I think it'd be good to collaborate on one solid set of crates for this particular problem, and open to discussing how!
