Until now, cryptographers thought factoring was the only way to break RSA. Not anymore.

    Elliptical curve for RSA was immediately phased out as soon as it was proven that the NIST was influenced by the NSA to implement it

      And if I remember correctly, I believe it has more weaknesses (especially potential unknown ones) than RSA.

      But it’s definitely more efficient on embedded hardware, and for sure still gets used in that space. Not that I’d know cough cough
