Title: Survey of elliptic curve cryptography

Abstract: Over the past thirty years it has been established that the theory of elliptic curves could be effectively applied to various cryptographic problems. In this talk I will introduce fundamental results about elliptic curves, with special attention on elliptic curves over finite fields. Then we will survey applications to elliptic curve cryptosystems and prime factorization.
