Hello all,
Is the dual elliptic curve algorithm mentioned in http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/dec/20/nsa-internet-security-rsa-secret-10m-encryption from 2 days ago, of any concern to Bitcoin? I only ask, since I don't follow the field closely, but I see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic_Curve_DSA
Is this a concern for Bitcoin, or is this all "old news"?
Ron
It is irrelevant.
