Elliptic curves constructed over finite fields are another important cryptographic tool.
We use elliptic curves because they provide a cryptographic [group](fields.md#Groups),
i.e. a group in which the [discrete logarithm problem](fields#) is hard.
i.e. a group in which the discrete logarithm problem (discussed below) is hard.
There are several ways to define the curve equation, but for our purposes, let
$\mathbb{F}_p$ be a large (255-bit) field, and then let the set of solutions $(x, y)$ to
