Feature description
Objective:
Add a Python module named elliptic_curve_cryptography.py to the Blockchain directory, implementing the core principles of Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) for securing blockchain transactions.
Details:
- The module will include functions for generating ECC key pairs (public and private keys).
- It will demonstrate how ECC can be used to sign and verify transactions within the blockchain.
- Provide examples of using ECC for encryption and decryption processes.
- Ensure compatibility with other cryptographic mechanisms already present in the blockchain project.
Benefits:
- Strengthens the security of blockchain transactions using lightweight cryptography.
- Enhances the ability to integrate with other blockchain features like digital signatures and smart contracts.
- This feature will help optimize security with less computational overhead compared to other cryptographic methods.
Can you assign it to me under the hacktoberfest-accepted
label?
I would like to work on this any many other blockchain related techs which I know about!
