Elliptic curve cryptography.

it's a representation on the real number field, the real finite elliptic curve is a scatter plot of noise

elliptic curves are amazing

i hope after you learn the history, you hate Schnorr as much as I do

if that bastard hadn't patented it we'd have had faster, compact signatures on Bitcoin from day zero, and probably no segwit or tapass

ecdsa is NIST garbage

oh, sorry, spoiler warning!
