I've been hearing a lot about ECC, or Elliptic Curve Cryptography, recently. I'm wondering if it's really secure. I know it's used in many security protocols, but I want to understand if there are any known vulnerabilities or concerns with it.

ECC offers high levels of security with relatively smaller key sizes.

This is in contrast to other cryptosystems like RSA and ElGamal.

RSA and ElGamal are based on modular exponentiation in Galois fields.

They require larger key sizes to achieve the same level of security as ECC.
