It seems likely in a post Quantum computing world, we will have signatures and key exchange protocols at least good enough for software signing and secure communications.
But ECC has many ancillary properties for constructing homomorphic and zero knowledge proof based systems that don't have an post Quantum equivalent.
- JoachimSchipper 11y agoLattice cryptography - although I wouldn't want to rely on it in 2015 - is quite flexible and does support such advanced systems. Also, homomorphic encryption and zero-knowledge proofs are almost entirely unused (and, due to the enormous overhead of FHE in particular, unusable) in practice. We'll deal.
