QC resistant algorithms are not yet something we need to rush for. We can't predict the future, but anyway it is good to know that even with today's technologies there are ways to mitigate an eventual QC based public key break. In this light the discussions about the need for 8k RSA now is as reliable as coffee grounds reading > IMO ECC has at least some questions about it since the NSA is pushing > it. That could be because they know of weaknesses in it, or because they There are of course sound reasons why they suggest the use of ECC. With about 30 years of research, ECC has a pretty solid theoretical foundation. The reasons why the seeds for the NIST curve parameters have not been recorded should of course raise more doubts now - I don't think that the DES history has a sequel here.
