This is great stuff. Microsoft is stepping up to the plate and making their research available so as to benefit the public as well as themselves. Kudos!!

Microsoft in the crypto game ... I would laugh if it wasn’t so sad. They can’t even keep their own publicly offered software safe,

Implementations of ECC stuff is tough though, this is going to have to be closely looked at.

Microsoft has just released a new, fast encryption technique into the open for others to examine to assure themselves of it's security and to allow all to use it. It is Elliptical Curve Cryptography that uses smaller seed numbers that make it easier calculate quickly using modern desktop level processors to both encrypt and decrypt data for transmission. Microsoft joins Apple and Google in not cooperating with the US Government in letting them have access to user data. PING!
