Editing Elliptic curve (section)

==Algorithms that use elliptic curves==
Elliptic curves over finite fields are used in some [[cryptography|cryptographic]] applications as well as for [[integer factorization]]. Typically, the general idea in these applications is that a known [[algorithm]] which makes use of certain finite groups is rewritten to use the groups of rational points of elliptic curves.
