2Also another improvement is the speed of the operations that is faster on ECC than on RSA.camp0– camp02020-04-28 20:22:05 +00:00Commented Apr 28, 2020 at 20:22

17It should be mentionned many cryptographers are suspicious that NIST curves used in ECDSA might be designed as backdoors. See git.libssh.org/projects/libssh.git/tree/doc/… for a summary of the concerns.alci– alci2020-04-29 09:57:35 +00:00Commented Apr 29, 2020 at 9:57

4@alci that's a good point. It seems better to use Ed25519 (EdDSA, Curve25519), created as alternative due to NIST-related concerns.kravemir– kravemir2021-11-13 14:57:18 +00:00Commented Nov 13, 2021 at 14:57

5You might want to consider secp256k1. You can think of bitcoin as a massive bug bounty for secp256k1. If a bad actor were to find a weakness in secp256k1 and exploit it, they could use it to steal other peoples' bitcoin. At $20,000 USD / btc, this would be very lucrative. But, to date, nobody has found a bug and 'claimed the bounty'.mti2935– mti29352022-09-09 22:31:43 +00:00Commented Sep 9, 2022 at 22:31

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. web-application), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
