[Cryptography] A Riddle Wrapped in an Enigma - Elliptic curves, NSA and post quantum cryptography

[Joachim Strömbergson]

Aloha!

Koblitz and Menezes have posted a very interesting paper to the
Cryptology ePrint Archive.

Abstract: In August 2015 the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA)
released a major policy statement on the need for post-quantum
cryptography (PQC). This announcement will be a great stimulus to the
development, standardization, and commercialization of new quantum-safe
algorithms. However, certain peculiarities in the wording and timing of
the statement have puzzled many people and given rise to much
speculation concerning the NSA, elliptic curve cryptography (ECC), and
quantum-safe cryptography. Our purpose is to attempt to evaluate some of
the theories that have been proposed.
