[tor-talk] Elliptic Curve Crypto and the NSA

Hello,
I’ve been reading a paper that talks about why the NSA told everyone to move to quantum resistant crypto.  One of the ideas in the paper was that they may have broken elliptic curves.  I understand that they’re used in Tor.  Does anyone think that NSA actually has the capability to break ECC?
Thanks,
Justin.
