I have been studying RSA cryptography and want to extend this to ECC. I am interested in any books on the topic, that start off with basic principles of elliptic curves as I have almost zero knowledge of them. Can you reccomend any books, or combination of books.

(I do have a good working understanding of group theory pre-postgrad level anyway)

    $\begingroup$ You should have a look at Silverman's "The Arithmetic of Elliptic Curves". The new 2nd edition includes a chapter on "algorithmic aspects" and, in particular, Ch XI.4 deals with elliptic curve cryptography. If you are looking for a more elementary treatment, look at Washington's "Elliptic Curves: Number Theory and Cryptography". $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Thinking about it, I agree with FV, regarding closure. math.stackexchange.com should be a good place to ask this. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ JarvisP, I had not seen your comment before mine: The point is that the purpose of this site is only research-level questions. However, the site I link to has a broader scope, but is otherwise very similar. $\endgroup$
