Anyone got any more info or a source on this?
- confounded 9y agoI wasn’t at the talk, but I imagine this is may be related to beliefs around quantum computing gradually moving from ‘if’ to ‘when’, in the last few years.
- Quiark 9y agoThe problem is that when QC come, ECC will not be in any better position than RSA...
- bjoli 9y agoApart from confounded's response, we are getting constantly better at factoring nunbers. Due to that the security margin of RSA has been dropping a lot faster than computer power has increased. In fact, we don't even know whether RSA security is based on something provably hard.
