In the foundational layer of digital security, two giants have long battled for supremacy in public-key cryptography: RSA (Rivest–Shamir–Adleman) and ECC (Elliptic Curve Cryptography). Both are essential for securing TLS/SSL connections, digital signatures, and key exchange, but in recent years, ECC has emerged as the clear winner, especially in resource-constrained environments. For security professionals, understanding […]
