Elliptic curves: point negation

Written by Dominik Joe Pantůček on 2018-03-08

Venturing closer to our goal of using elliptic curves for digital signatures and encryption, we describe the simplest point operation on elliptic curve in Weierstrass form. This operation is called negation and it somehow resembles the negation of numbers you learned about in elementary school. We have (sort of) finalized the software stack for visualizing elliptic curves both in 2D or 3D so I would like to hear some feedback if the pictures - and especially the video - are clear and easy to understand. And now for something completely negating...
