- Asraelite 2y agoIf you're really serious about security then elliptic curves are kind of already obsolete as well. We should be using post-quantum algorithms today, and I'm surprised more people aren't concerned about that. Quanta also has an article about how lattice-based cryptography works: https://www.quantamagazine.org/cryptographys-future-will-be-quantum-safe-heres-how-it-will-work-20221109/ https://www.quantamagazine.org/cryptographys-future-will-be-...
- upofadown 2y agoMy understanding is that RSA is fast for signature verification and encryption but is slow for signature creation, decryption and keypair creation. So it might depend on the application.
