gollark: Hmm, so have more levels than "run in sandbox" and "run out of sandbox"? Interesting.
gollark: That is also true of basically any unsandboxed function.
gollark: It's an extension of the signed disk thing, really.
gollark: > The primary benefit promised by elliptic curve cryptography is a smaller key size, reducing storage and transmission requirements[6], i.e. that an elliptic curve group could provide the same level of security afforded by an RSA-based system with a large modulus and correspondingly larger key: for example, a 256-bit elliptic curve public key should provide comparable security to a 3072-bit RSA public key. - wikipedia
gollark: For RSA, though.
