Muhtasari	A ring signature is a digital signature scheme allowing a member of a group (ring) to sign a message on behalf of the group without revealing the signer's identity. Proposed by Rivest, Shamir, and Tauman in 2001, ring signatures provide signer anonymity while still proving that the signature comes from one member of a specified set. This cryptographic primitive is widely used in privacy-preserving applications, whistleblowing systems, and anonymous messaging platforms.	Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) is a public-key cryptosystem based on the algebraic structure of elliptic curves over finite fields. Proposed independently by Neal Koblitz and Victor Miller in 1985, ECC offers equivalent security to RSA with much smaller key sizes. Modern cryptography increasingly favors ECC for its efficiency: a 256-bit ECC key provides security comparable to a 2048-bit RSA key, making it ideal for constrained environments and high-performance systems.	HMAC (Hash-Based Message Authentication Code) is a cryptographic algorithm for authenticating messages using a secret key and a hash function. Standardized in RFC 2104 (1997), HMAC can be combined with any cryptographic hash function (SHA-256, SHA-3, etc.) to create a message authentication code (MAC). HMAC provides both data integrity and authentication, detecting both accidental corruption and deliberate tampering, and is widely used in web security (TLS/SSL), API authentication, and network protocols.
