Elliptic curve cryptography/Talk

Somebody should describe what ECC mathematically is in details. Better link to GPL'd ECC code should be added. Currently it points to quite big package. Taw

From an earlier revision of the article:

''For comparison, in 2001 some experts are suggesting these sizes for various public key systems for a security level appropriate to major business transactions that require secrecy:

RSA (based on difficulty of factorisation) 1024 bits.

DSA (based on difficulty of discrete log for integers modulo a prime) 1024 bits.

ECC (based on difficulty of discrete log for discrete ECC system) 200 bits.''

I have removed this until it can be backed up firmly by a cite - instead, I have added external links to research papers in this field. -- The Anome
