Elliptic curve cryptography gained its popularity due to small key size and efficient implementation. For this Discussion, you compare the efficiency of the ECC scheme against other public key techniques such as RSA.

Compare the value of key sizes for ECC and RSA respectively at the equivalent security levels for AES-128, AES-192, and AES-256.

What, in your opinion, is the best (most efficient) implementation of ECC in the market? What is the performance gain compared against best RSA (most efficient) implementations in the market?

Based on these comparisons, is ECC still a good candidate for the public key infrastructure? Why or why not?
