Line 7:
In a nutshell, an elliptic curve is a bi-dimensional curve defined by the following relation between the '''x''' and '''y''' coordinates of any point on the curve:
 
:::: &nbsp; <big><big><math> y^2 = x^3 + a x + b </math></big></big>
 
'''a''' and '''b''' are arbitrary parameters that define the specific curve which is used.
