- wolf550e 7y agoThat's mostly bullshit. NSA is just saying "don't start a multi-year project to upgrade from RSA to NIST P-256 because you will not be finished with that upgrade before we'll ask you to upgrade to a recommended PQ crypto scheme". There is nothing wrong with X25519 and Ed25519, except that they are vulnerable to quantum computers (like anything else currently in use).
