SSL Complete Guide 2021: HTTP to HTTPS - Point Addition on Elliptic Curve

The video tutorial introduces elliptic curves, focusing on point addition and multiplication. It explains how changing parameters affects the curve's outline and delves into the operations of point addition and multiplication. The tutorial describes how to perform these operations, emphasizing the unique 'dot' operation used in elliptic curve cryptography. It also covers scenarios where lines intersect the curve at different points, leading to point multiplication. The session concludes with a summary and a preview of the next lecture, which will explore adding a point to itself multiple times.

What is the significance of the equation B dot Q = R in elliptic curve operations?

Describe the relationship between points P, Q, and R in the context of point addition.

What does it mean when we say that every point is a couple of coordinates?
