Hello,
Does it worth implemementing Elliptic Curve Cryptography on Arduino Edison? The programming on Edison is the same as any Arduino (C,C++) ?
Thank you...

Yes.
Is it worth it? Well it depends on how much you want it.
I asked it the wrong way. I mean, does the Arduino Edison "has future"? Will I find help pages and all this support information I have found in other Arduino devices? Or is it a "dead device"? Of course I am searching the google as well...
Thank you...
Or is it a "dead device"?
Is this for a commercial product?

I do not understand...
I would consider it dead. I bought into it when it was released but there does not seem to be any new development since then.
The Teensy and (probably) the newer official MKR Arduinos can do proper cryptography.
I am a mere user so do not speak for Intel or Arduino. Search for "Intel Edison end of life".
I do not understand...
Are you planning to make something to sell?
Why do you care whether the Edison is dead?

I am a hobbyist, nothing to sell. But I care in order if I start today implementing ECC, in two months to still find support for Edison and not throw 150-170$ for buying something without "future"...
Spend $30 or less on a Raspberry Pi, and use a standard linux distribution. Many years of life in that product line, and linux will outlive anything Windows-based.
In case anyone is wondering about the Arduino 101 based on the Intel Curie, it is also a dead end.

I will use batteries...
Raspberry when doing nothing it consumes 350mA-400mA and if you use complex functions it easy exceeds 1A...
Turn it off when not encrypting something.
I am reading this post:
hands-on-with-new-arduino-fpga-board-mkr-vidor-4000
about Arduino MKR Vidor 4000, but I cannot figure out if I can upload bitstream to the FPGA that the Arduino has. I mean, if I implement ECC on VHDL can I upload it to this FPGA?
if I implement ECC on VHDL can I upload it to this FPGA?
Yes but, and it is a big but, it is designed to work with precompiled modules and learning how to code and get it into an Arduino is altogether another step up in complication.
See the Vidor 4000 section of this web site.

What means precompiled modules? I start a VHDL program from scratch, can I upload it? What else I need? Ok, I am looking the section you suggested.
What means precompiled modules?
Modules that have been written and then put in a form suitable for uploading.
I start a VHDL program from scratch, can I upload it?
Only after having it compiles and routed.
