[Cryptography] Introduction to EC that is actually an introduction?

[Jeroen van der Ham]

Hi,

The introduction from djb and Tanja Lange at 31C3 last year was excellent. It has the right build up and contains all the necessary elements to properly understand EC crypto. 

https://media.ccc.de/browse/congress/2014/31c3_-_6369_-_en_-_saal_1_-_201412272145_-_ecchacks_-_djb_-_tanja_lange.html#video

The slides can probably be found there, and otherwise djb has them on his homepage. 

Jeroen.
