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

it seems okay on the demo page, I tried on my iPhone 4s too and that wasn't too shabby.

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?

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!

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