Standard curve database.

Primary LanguagePython

std-curves

Standard curve database. This repository contains a list of standardised elliptic curves, collected from many standards by the team at Centre for Research on Cryptography and Security. For our other projects related to elliptic curve cryptography, see:

  • ECTester: A tool for testing black-box ECC implementations
  • pyecsca: A Python Elliptic Curve Side-Channel Analysis toolkit, focusing on reverse-engineering ECC implementations from devices
  • ecgen: A tool for generating EC domain parameters

The curve listing includes its parameters, computed characteristics such as number of points or j-invariant. New curves are currently being added, the database is definitely not complete.

Format

The curves are stored in JSON files, grouped by category/source in directories. See schema.json for the JSON schema of the files. See analyze.sage for a SAGE script which parses the JSON and constructs a SAGE EllipticCurve object from it.
