112-bit prime ECDLP solved

[Zooko Wilcox-O'Hearn]

By the way, we've recently been planning our next crypto-capabilities  
design for the TahoeLAFS secure distributed filesystem.  This  
involves deciding whether a 192-bit elliptic curve public key is  
strong enough, as well as subtler and more unusual issues involving  
embedding keys directly into filehandles or URLS, multiple-targets  
attacks, and a novel public key scheme that I invented (and that  
therefore I think we shouldn't use):

Your comments would be appreciated!  I've added  
tanja at hyperelliptic.org and jamesd at echeque.com to the list of  
addresses that can post to tahoe-dev without being subscribed.

Regards,

Zooko
