I believe an natural segue here is to remind people about cryptopals (especially set 8). Ie., I don't have the chops and wouldn't attempt to writeup EC/DSA nonce bias and partial k…

My mistake; 1978 Pollard's Rho algorithm for DLP. Was looking at Pollard's Rho for integer factorization at the time. On that note; what a monster this Pollard character. Wonder wh…

Thanks for your response; 1971 Shanks' BSGS improvement to 1974 Pollard Rho for DLP is indeed a nice example.

Thanks for posting; found many sections interesting especially 3.2; >3.2. Does NSA have an $n^{1/3}$-algorithm for finding elliptic curve discrete logs? ... In 2013 Bernstein and L…
