Why use “recommended” elliptic curves?

424 views

Why do there need to be “recommended” elliptic curves? If “recommended” ones are just ones that someone has found a shortcut for, why isn’t it better to just choose a new random one each time? Is it that decrypting or validating different curves requires different specific code?

This is explained like a 5th year cryptologist. I have not a clue what you are even talking about. Elliptic curves like orbits? Ballistic trajectory? How is a curve good?
