webweaving: more reading comprehension, re: Spyrus' Hydra PC II

Now having thought about the article in SC Magazine for yet another day, I think I figured out what they meant regarding the default key lengths.

What the article should say is that the default key length for ECC is 384 bits. Default key length for AES is 256 bits. Default hash used is SHA-384. The article suffers from not explaining enough.

It isn't that the authors aren't necessarily knowledgeable with respect to the field; it's just that the article needs some extra sentences which seem to have been left out.

Oh, and I got a 100 on the paper. [big grin]
