In the last 25 years, Elliptic Curve Cryptography has become a
mainstream primitive for cryptographic protocols and applications.
This talk will give a survey of elliptic curve cryptography and its
applications, including applications of pairing-based cryptography
which are built with elliptic curves. No prior knowledge about
elliptic curves is required for this talk. One of the
information-theoretic applications I will cover is a solution to
prevent pollution attacks in content distribution networks which use
network coding to achieve optimal throughput. One solution is
based on a pairing-based signature scheme using elliptic curves. I
will also discuss some applications to privacy of electronic medical
records, and implications for secure and private cloud storage and
cloud computing.
