Bernstein and Lange -- Safe curves for Elliptic Curve Cryptography [pdf]
https://eprint.iacr.org/2024/1265.pdfThis is a technical but quite informative article, nominally about which elliptic curves have good security properties, but also discusses the intentions behind using EC instead of older systems like RSA (basically, EC is safer against some known classes of attacks).
Posting partly because EC vs RSA came up here a few days ago.
