Invalid curve attacks are a type of cryptographic vulnerability that exploit the mathematical properties of elliptic curves used in cryptography. These attacks occur when a system improperly accepts or processes points that do not lie on the intended elliptic curve, potentially leading to unauthorized access or decryption of sensitive information. Understanding these attacks is essential for ensuring the integrity and security of elliptic curve cryptography implementations.
