Elliptic Curve Crypto in iOS

Question

I\'m trying to incorporate ECC into an iPhone app that is being used for secure communications but I\'m having a hard time finding a proper library / tutorial on how to do t

Answer 1

A quick search for elliptic curve crypto in Mac libraries yielded EllipticLicense, a product key generation/validation library for the Mac that uses EC crypto. It's using OpenSSL's support for EC, which is something you could do too.

Note that Apple has deprecated using their supplied OpenSSL dynamic libraries due to compatibility issues that stop them keeping it up to date, so you would need to grab OpenSSL from the source and bundle it with your app yourself.
