This note is a concise introduction to some basic aspects of elliptic curve cryptography. It is based on lecture notes of a summer course at undergraduate level. Our approach is computational and uses the computer package PARI/GP as a tool to describe explicitly the underlying arithmetical objects used in the cryptographic algorithms.
