Prof. Adi Shamir mentioned that for a long time NSA recommended ECC to use. But in the past year they somehow changed and swaped back to recommend RSA crypto. What is the reason they did this? Mr. Shamir (S in RSA) concluded that the NSA found some way in to break Elliptic Curve Crypto (ECC).

There are good reasons to see QuantumComputing to break ECC. So what will be Post-Quantum-Crypto? Someone interested in QuantumCrypto may focuses on South Korea Telecom, they implement QC into 5G nets with Net Slicing and DSL/LTE-Bonding or Wifi Offloading (Macro Cell to Small Cell, most MIMO Wi-Fi Access Points).

Who knows about NSA's change?
