Could you say more? ECC's trapdoor function isn't prime factoring; it's a variant of the discrete log problem.

- woodruffw 3y agoYes, I know that DLP and prime factorization are similar problems. I was trying to understand if the GP's comment was about improvements to prime factorization specifically having implications for DLP (since "factoring breakthrough in ECC" is an unusual phrasing to me.)
