Why do we have "circular behavior" when working with EC over finite field and what makes some point a "turning point"?
Thank you all very much in advance!
I will explain best with an example what is not clear to me.
Consider the elliptic curve a = 1, b = 2, p = 11 of order 16.
Also let's consider the "opposite&...

First of all, just to note that I am having trouble with this MOD math, so for some this question might be basic, but in my case it caused a lot of confusion.
Just for the context. In my previous ...

What is the relationship between parity and the sign of the points on the elliptic curve?
EDIT: I found out that the answer on the second question is just to do 10 * -G, that is, 10 * G(X, -Y) instead of -10 * G. However, I still do not understand relation between parity and the sign of ...
