Certicom

Certicom Corp. (tsx|CIC) is a cryptography company founded in 1985 by Gordon Agnew [cite web |title=Technology Transfer Partners of University of Waterloo |publisher=University of Waterloo web site |url=http://www.ece.uwaterloo.ca/Partnership/CurrentPartners/TechnologyTransfer/ |accessdate=2007-03-19 ] and Scott Vanstone.

The Certicom intellectual property portfolio includes over 350 patents and patents pending worldwide that cover key aspects of elliptic curve cryptography (ECC): software optimizations, efficient hardware implementations, methods to enhance the security, and various cryptographic protocols.Fact|date=February 2007

The National Security Agency (NSA) has licensed 26 of Certicom's ECC patents as a way of clearing the way for the implementation of elliptic curves to protect US and allied government information.
