Cryptography 101 for Blockchain Developers Part 2/3: Elliptic Curve Groups

Cryptography Fundamentals for blockchain developers. The second video in a series to learn the building blocks of cryptography ultimately setting up the foundation for Zero-knowledge proofs. In this video, KoalateeCtrl (Blockchain Security Researcher @ OpenZeppelin) will walk you through the basics of Elliptic Curve Groups specifically for developers.

An introduction to elliptic curve groups for blockchain developers and folks in Web3 that want to dive deeper under the hood and better understand cryptography. In addition, if you are interested in cryptographic structures such as elliptic curve pairings, zero knowledge proofs, signatures schemes, and their applications, make sure to first watch this video to build a solid foundation.

This video is part 2 of a 3 part series that should set you up to begin to pursue more advanced cryptography.

Voice of instructor reminds me of my math faculty 🙏🏼 please do come up with basics like this which are very helpful, also let me know is there any channel of this instructor(got the channel)

[sauravverma]

This is the best video have seen on ECC so far.

[denki]

The first method to generate more points could be called secant method.

[mirko]

I am trying to sort this out in my head and get intuition for a week, this is the only and most helpful video i found, god bless you

[gleleylo]

Very good video, thanks. But how are points actually summed on a curve in a program code?

[sweeterasmus]

Thank you for this series!! Really insightful!!

[exodus]

Is there a way to know if the point multiplied is odd or even?
