The specific tone of this post is purposefully bombastic to call attention to the fact that RSA is uniquely difficult to implement and utilize correctly. Newer cryptographic constructs use various methods to reduce the probability of incorrect implementation and improve misuse resistance. Are they perfect? Of course not! But we're improving all the time with signature algorithms like ed25519, NMR constructions like SIV, etc.
- intuitionist 7y agoI don’t think the problem is that RSA is harder to implement correctly than, say, Curve25519. The problem is that it’s much easier to implement almost correctly.
