djb is fun: "There are many choices of elliptic-curve signature systems. The standard choice, ECDSA, is reasonable if you don't care about simplicity, speed, and security."
whitequa1k is now known as whitequark

wpwrak: I heard that you should not trust NIST curves
<eintopf>
because they work together with NSA, etc :-/
<eintopf>
so big companies says "oh yes we use NIST curve xy, it's a well known standard curve"
<eintopf>
but real users should not trust them :-/
<wpwrak>
hmm, i think he may go beyond just NIST curves. but i have to admit that i haven't carefully read let alone understood the article: http://blog.cr.yp.to/20140323-ecdsa.html

wpwrak: I had a course about cryptography at my university and I don't know nothing about cryptography for sure
<eintopf>
but what I learned was that the deffie hellman algorithm on in german "Restklassenring"(some algebra with modulo and such things) can be adapted on elliptic-curve algebra
<eintopf>
and then some algorithmn to crack deffie hellman is more complex by doing it on elliptic-curve algebra
<wpwrak>
ECDH. About 268,000 results (0.46 seconds) :)
<eintopf>
ah, the problem to crack Deffie hellman is discrete logarithmn
<wpwrak>
ah i understand it, the main advantage of EC is that you need a lot fewer bits for the same kind of operations
<wpwrak>
e.g., RSA is getting ridiculous, with keys sometimes getting as large as 1 kB (well, that's still mainly for the tin-hat faction, but the rest is just 1-2 binary orders of magnitude behind)
<eintopf>
yes, that's why it's interessting for mcu's
