> In August 2015 the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) released a major policy statement on the need for post-quantum cryp- tography (PQC). This announcement will be a great stimulus to the development, standardization, and commercialization of new quantum- safe algorithms. However, certain peculiarities in the wording and tim- ing of the statement have puzzled many people and given rise to much speculation concerning the NSA, elliptic curve cryptography (ECC), and quantum-safe cryptography. Our purpose is to attempt to evaluate some of the theories that have been proposed.
