ECC Algorithm

Stronger Security. Better Performance. Mobile Advantage.

With this premium security option only offered by Symantec™ for their Secure Site Pro and Secure Site Pro with EV products, ECC simply provides stronger protection against cyber-attacks than the current traditional methods. It provides better performance because ECC uses a shorter key-length for a higher level of security. To put it bluntly, a 256-bit ECC key provides the equivalent protection as a 3072-bit RSA key would, which means, you get the security you and your customers want without sacrificing performance. The other benefit to ECC is the mobile advantage it provides. Because ECC’s smaller key length means smaller certificates that consume less bandwidth, it will vastly improve the user experience with regard to transactions on small mobile devices as the keep increasing globally.
