Criptografia Assimétrica

Criptografia de chave pública.

## RSA vs. ECC
An RSA key needs to be 3072 bits long to provide the same level of security as a 256-bit ECC key. In the context of blockchain, where every byte of on-chain data is expensive, ECC (Elliptic Curve Cryptography) is the clear winner. This is why Bitcoin and Ethereum use ECC for address generation and transaction validation.
