Start here, http://archives.seul.org/or/dev/Dec-2010/msg00012.html. : 2) is there a specific reason why TOR does not use ECC, : which is more secure (with reasonable curve parameters and same : key length like RSA) *and* uses less or, depending on the : ECC algorithm, at least not significantly more CPU cycles than RSA? A quick answer is most ECC implementations we may want use are patent encumbered. However, Nick or Roger will have a better answer. -- Andrew pgp key: 0x74ED336B *********************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to [email protected] with unsubscribe or-talk in the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/
