Elliptic Curves

Elliptic curves are an essential part in modern day cryptography. But what are they? And how do they work? Although the theory behind Elliptic Curves is very complex, I try to delve into this subject here. I’m not a mathematician, so I do not know all the ins and out, nor do I know all the details. However, I try to write down the things I know about this matter hoping this is useful to you.
