Do you trust elliptic curves in cryptography? Assumedly, unlike RSA, they have shootguns in design phase rather than implementation.

to what degree of trust?

i trust cryptography to be a window out of ignorance

God can can compute an infinite amount in 0 time

You mean a large amount in 1 Planck time?

>>107654789
i'd assign that that to a lesser god, like a demiurgis

true God is infinite moves in zero time

I've been thinking quite a lot about this lately. Elliptic curves look sound and their groups look superior to multiplicative groups modulo prime numbers. However, elliptic curves have really deep properties, who knows what attacks can be produced. Also, curves like 25519 are 20 years old, and people keep using them. Could there be specific attacks vs specific curves given enough motivation and time (say 20 years)?

I've resolved to stick to RSA with a mongo key length. I can even use some old versions of PGP with it. The code is easy and fun to review.
