Anyone has ever proven ECC is stronger than RSA?

Which was completely unnecessary and he even admits it goes against the manual. There are many options, such as storing the copies in several physical places. But convenience trumps everything, I guess.
- marcosdumay 10y ago> Anyone has ever proven ECC is stronger than RSA? Proof? No, AFAIK, nobody ever proved anything in crypto (except that stuff are broken). Up to now, ECC has survived cryptoanalysis much better than RSA, and curve 25519 has some very good properties that makes it easier to implement it correctly that RSA (or other ECC algos). But there are no proofs.
