Disclaimer: I co-authored the Latacora one. I think "key size" is something maybe protocol designers need to be worried about, but it's still about two hops above how kobs-set-for-safety I like recommendations I make to be for the median programmer.

From the article:

> The most important thing to keep in mind about cryptographic key sizes in 2019 is they don't matter nearly as much as the general public likes to think.

:P

The "general public" I'm referring to is the set of people who aren't cryptography protocol designers.

Thanks for sharing.

Also, this[1] article helped me visualize how ECC works. It's a great read.
