Elliptic Curve Classroom (JAVA required) 3.3 Experiment: An Elliptic Curve Model over Fp



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 number of points on the curve.
  2. Select a point P on the curve, and then select a point Q. Add them together.
  3. Select a point P on the curve and then double it.
  4. Try doubling P when yP = 0
  5. Try adding two points with the same x-value.

A Java-enabled browser will allow you to experiment with a model of the elliptic curve group.
