recommended for: People who want to learn about elliptic curve cryptography

This is a good book for a high level introduction to the Mathematics behind Elliptic Curve Cryptography.

It does not go into a great amount of detail, but it is relatively clearly written, and that definitely counts for a lot. Also, it has a very comprehensive list of references, and cites them well, so it is easy to track down the details.

So far I have used this book to learn about:

1) Isogenies - a high level introduction / definitions.
2) Complex Multiplication - I got introduced to the subject here.

I read this book because my boss Kristin Lauter suggested it was a good place to start learning about ECC.
