elliptic-curves
A collection of pure Rust elliptic curve implementations for NIST, secp256k1, SM2, and other standard curves.
What is elliptic-curves?
RustCrypto Elliptic Curves is a collection of pure Rust implementations of standardized elliptic curves used in cryptography. It provides the foundational components for Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC), including types for curves, scalars, points, and keys, enabling developers to build secure cryptographic applications without relying on external C libraries.
Rust developers building cryptographic applications, embedded systems, or WebAssembly projects that require elliptic curve operations. It is particularly suited for those needing NIST, secp256k1, or SM2 curve support in a memory-safe, no-std environment.
Developers choose this library for its pure Rust implementation, which eliminates safety risks associated with foreign code, and its no-std capability, making it versatile for embedded and WebAssembly use. It offers a modular, well-tested suite of curves under a permissive dual license.
