- From http://www.ecstr.com/ :
XTR is faster than Elliptic Curve Crypto systems..
XTR is as compact as Elliptic Curve Crypto systems..
XTR's security is based on the discrete logarithm problem in a
finite field..
XTR is therefore at least as secure as the RSA system..
XTR's key selection is up to 80 times faster than RSA's..
XTR is the best of two worlds, i.e. RSAs and ECCs..
XTR is an alternative to RSA\ECC in SSL & WAP..
Apparently "You'll hear more about XTR soon!"
Sounds sexy :)
