   Hypothetical roadmap for next 10 years: Binary FF DLP --> Prime FF DLP --> EC in prime FF --> RSA? --> ElGamal? --> ...

   Binary fields are weaker than prime fields, but "I think" there are always shortcuts. Finding these shortcuts are hard and some good topics for future research in cryptography.

   There are some attacks like MOV attack [1] and Frey-Rück attack [2]. [1] http://www.dima.unige.it/~morafe/MaterialeCTC/p80-menezes.pd... [2] https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/8823/54510ddc955c8

   I completely agree. My real unpopular opinion: designing a secure asymmetric cipher is much harder than symmetric.

    The end of DLP (over any field) is the end of ECC.

    EDIT: there isn't any unpopular opinion :-) Qs: What about AES? RSA first or ECC?

    EDIT: 10 years without quantum computer. I am an optimist! A: because this record is on binary fields.

    For Linux’s history, beside Mr Black's link, I strongly recommend to read "Just for Fun"[1] and watch Revolution OS[2][3]. [1] https://www.amazon.com/Just-Fun-Story-Accidental-Revolutiona... [2] https:/&

    It is not an emulator. but for running Android on GNU/Linux, the best solutions are Anbox and Genymotion.

    Thanks! I didn’t explain my opinion as strong as I could have. In academia, your biggest problem to do great research is "publish or perish", but in industry, as an employee, your biggest problem is your company's short goals

    If you want to build something, write code or make money, industry is a better place. I talk about doing science for science.

    I read his useful blog post. I think he will not find more freedom in Cisco Talos, but I hope he find!

    I am a master's student, I think many times about academia vs industry for "research". Academia has a great advantage over industry: freedom, never dismiss it.

    ECC patents killed ECC, before quantum computers do it.

    Sorry for unrelated question: Paul (@pg) is not very active on HN, unlike Twitter. Why?

    Similar question: based on Zooko's triangle, decentralization will reduce the security of DNS. How secure are blockchain based naming systems like Handshake, ENS, Unstoppable, Blockstack, etc?
