An exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides a method and an apparatus for minimizing a difference in data path between elliptic curve point addition and elliptic curve point doubling. An elliptic curve encryption method includes a first operation step of performing point addition for two points when two points on an elliptic curve are different from each other, and a second operation step of performing point doubling for any one point when two points on the elliptic curve are the same, wherein inverse multiplication processes and multiplication processes of the first operation step and the second operation step have the same path delay.
