Elliptic Curve Classroom (JAVA required) 2.3 Experiment: An Elliptic Curve Model over Real Numbers





The following model can be used to experiment with addition in a variety of elliptic curve groups.

Try the following experiments:

  1. Change the variables a and b to see the resulting shape and the elliptic curve.
  2. Select a point P on the curve, and then select a point Q on the curve. Add them together.
  3. Select a point P on the curve and then double it.
  4. Try doubling P when yP = 0
  5. Try selecting a = -3 and b = 2





A Geometric Elliptic Curve Model.
There should be an interactive demonstration of elliptic curve groups here. A Java enabled browser is required for this experiment.
