SSL Complete Guide 2021: HTTP to HTTPS - Elliptic Curve Discrete Log Problem

What is the process of multiplying a point on an elliptic curve by an integer called?

• Point Subtraction

• Point Multiplication

• Point Doubling

• Point Addition

What is the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem primarily concerned with?

• Finding the starting point given the final point

• Identifying the curve's parameters

• Calculating the curve's equation

• Determining the multiplier given the starting and final points

Why is it difficult to determine the multiplier in the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem?

• Because of the nature of the curve's shape

• Due to the complexity of the curve's equation

• Due to the infinite number of possible multipliers

• Because the curve is not continuous

What makes the elliptic curve equation non-reversible?

• The complexity of the curve

• The nature of the modulus operation

• The simplicity of the curve

• The linearity of the curve

How does elliptic curve cryptography compare to the Diffie-Hellman algorithm?

• It is less secure

• It achieves the same effect using elliptic curves

• It uses a different type of curve

• It requires more computational power
