🔷🔷 About 🔷🔷

This Fundamental Cryptography in Theory and Python lesson demonstrates, how a P-256 elliptic curve based ECDHE key exchange can be implemented in Python straight out of the official standardization documents NIST SP 800-186 and NIST FIPS PUB 186-4.

All code demonstrated serves educational purposes only.
