Researchers Claim Subexponential Algorithm for Elliptic Curve Discrete Logarithm

Original: A Subexponential Time Algorithm for Elliptic Curve Discrete Logarithm

A new research result from the Bochum cryptography group claims a subexponential-time algorithm for solving the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem, the mathematical assumption underpinning widely used elliptic curve cryptography including TLS, Bitcoin and Signal-style encryption. If verified, such a result would be a major break with the long-standing belief that the problem resists subexponential attacks, forcing a rethink of curve-based security estimates.

Why now: A claimed breakthrough against the hardness assumption behind elliptic curve cryptography would have major implications for global digital security
