    Strange that they recommend an elliptic-curve based implementation considering it's not quantum resistant.

    Wow, people using 512 bit keysizes in 2018??

    Back in 2014 I got the recommendation to ditch 2048 in favor of 4096.

    This is relevant to my interests. Thank God we're already using ECC for everything.

    I'm confused... Wasn't all that published in 2015 already?

    Edit: ah it says it right there on this article: The full version of this paper was published in Proceedings of the 22nd Conference on Computer and Communications Security (CCS), October 2015, ACM

    Mods, maybe add a "2015" to the title?
