I have a public key and I want to know if there's a way to convert it into a private key. I'm not sure if this is possible or if there's a specific process to follow.

However, the reverse—deriving the private key from the public key and the ECC curve point—is computationally infeasible.

In the context of ECC (Elliptic Curve Cryptography), we encounter an equation that illustrates this concept: K = k*G.

Here, K represents the public key, G stands for a point on the ECC curve, and k is the private key.

The creation of a public key from a private key and a point on the ECC curve is a straightforward process.
