QuestionQ15

Threats, Vulnerabilities, and Mitigations

Which of these cryptographic methods is preferred to secure communications when computing resources are limited?

Explanation

Elliptic curve cryptography provides strong public-key security with relatively small keys, reducing the processing, storage, and transmission overhead that matter on resource-constrained devices. NIST identifies ECC as a standardized technology for key-establishment schemes and notes that modern specified curves can provide increased performance.
