Deep dives
The NIST curves are reliable and secure
Contrary to popular belief, the NIST curves, standardized by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, are secure and reliable. They had some issues in the past, but with the development of better mathematical formulas, they have become highly secure. The curves are generated from a hash, although the specific hash is still unknown. The NIST curves are safe to use and have fewer problems compared to alternative curves.
