The slide deck has an impressive list of authors, but slide 55 (about TLS and ECC) appears to be misleading without the context of the talk itself.

I didn't see the talk, so I don't know what they were aiming at, but ECC works the same in TLS 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2. Hybrid chains (i.e. an ECDSA public key in a certificate, signed by an RSA certificate) work fine too.

(Not all implementations of TLS support ECC of course.)




It's my understanding (again, I endorse this talk but had nothing to do with its preparation) that they addressed this on stage, just for whatever it's worth.
