AW: Reasons to include ECC to our charter

2001-09-05 03:22:15

ECC does *not* affect the speed of large file encryption.
Agreed. But that's not the point.
The most convincing argument for including ECC (to me) is
having another alternative, an algorithm depending on a
completely different problem, independent to integer
factorization and discrete logarithms.
