I've been searching but I cant find anything about this... only EC Diffie-Hellman with symmetric cryptography, which is exactly what I do not want :(

Imagine this:

  • generate a random private key, k
  • then calculate a "public key" with ECC, d=kG

The algorithm I'm looking for is this: any message cyphered with the public key will "only" be decyphered by the owner of the private key.

Does this exists? Has anything like this been developed yet?

    yes i have... In section "Key and signature size comparison to DSA" its written: "Suppose Alice wants to send a signed message to Bob.". Also in "Signature verification algorithm" step 2 has: "e=HASH(m)" That m is the plain text message. This means that ECDSA is only used to check the message integrity. As far as the algorithm is concerned, the trasnmission can be: "plain_text_message+signature"... :(2012-10-07
