The Beauty of Elliptic Curves: A Real-life Example of an Isogeny

--

The world of cryptography could be changed using a relatively technique: isogenies (“equal origin”). One of the best usages of isogenies is within quantum robust key exchange (using SIDH —Supersingular isogeny key exchange) An isogeny provides a mapping from one elliptic curve to another. The standard form of an elliptic curve equation is:
