Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC).

A public-key encryption technique based on elliptic curve theory that can be used to create faster, smaller, and more efficient cryptographic keys. ECC generates keys through the properties of the elliptic curve equation instead of using the traditional method of generation as the product of large prime numbers. The technology can be used in conjunction with most public-key encryption methods, such as RSA and Diffie-Hellman.

Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP).

Security protocol that provides data privacy services, optional data authentication, and antireplay services. ESP encapsulates the data to be protected.
