6.4 Why are ECDSA keys smaller than RSA?
Wasabi Wallet
Wasabi Wallet discussion: RSA requires large keys (2048–4096 bits) because integer factorization algorithms threaten its security; elliptic curves enable smaller keys (256 bits) because their group structure contains no equivalent weakness—no factorization attack exists. The speaker theorizes EC groups are mathematically pure with no internal structure to exploit, though EC's complexity raises con
