I’m worried that there may be improvements in classical cryptanalysis of MLWE and ECDSA that leave us in a bad place with standards.

x.comMatthew Green (@matthew_d_green) on XI’ve had a few people write to ask me to follow up on a (reply!) tweet I wrote that’s gotten a lot of retweets. I considered deleting it just to avoid the headache, but I think that would make people more paranoid. So let me share my thoughts.
