EC Key Pair

An EC key pair consists of:

  1. Private Key — A random positive integer
  2. Public Key — A point on the elliptic curve (EC Point), which is the result of the point scalar multiplication of the private key and the base point of the elliptic curve
    • A public key can be represented in a compressed or an uncompressed form
