What is an ECC (Elliptic Curve Cryptography) certificate?

  • An ECC (Elliptic Curve Cryptography) Certificate is a modern type of SSL that uses a more advanced mathematical algorithm for encryption than the traditional RSA .
    • Efficiency: ECC provides the same level of security as RSA but with much shorter key lengths.
    • Performance: Because the keys are smaller, they require less computing power and bandwidth, leading to faster website loading speeds and better performance on mobile devices.
