Isn't RSA much more computationally expensive than ECC? What hardware can do RSA but not ECC?
/me sits down to be schooled

- pslam 12y agoBingo :) Actually, not just embedded systems. There's HSMs (hardware security modules) which also can't be updated to support new functions. Often this is because the underlying primitives have been implemented in fixed-function hardware to prevent timing, power and even RF analysis.
