And as recent publications illustrate - it's usually not how big your curves are, it's how you use them.
On a more serious note - has there been any movement in research in the intervening years since that would indicate that 25519 is anywhere less practically secure than 448? Or has everyone just been busy working under the assumption that they're both finished when the quantum computers arrive - just any "5 years away" from now?
- tptacek 4y agoAs I understand it, generally the big issue between 25519 and things like 448 is that you want the security level of your curve to meet the security level of the rest of your system, or else the extra work you're doing in the rest of your system is for nothing.
