Some geometry on non-singular cubic curves, mainly over finite fields, is surveyed. Such a curve has 9, 3, 1 or 0 points of inflexion, and cubic curves are classified accordingly. The group structure and the possible numbers of rational points are also surveyed. A possible strengthening of the security of elliptic curve cryptography is proposed using a shared secret related to the group law. Cubic curves are used also in a new way to construct sets of points having various combinatorial and geometric properties that are of particular interest in finite Desarguesian planes.
