My question is how in the world do they make ECC crypto run that fast in browser, if that is indeed what they are doing?

Where can I get more info on the strong elliptic curve cryptography and identity-based encryption behind this open source code?

if this is as good as it claims to be that's pretty cool. I use Google Authenticator for some things but's no good if your damn phone has died!

How can ECC be fast enough in Javascript? Anyone tried this or am I first?
