Discrete logarithm problem...

Discrete logarithm problem ... not so solved after all :)  A few days ago, I blogged about a breakthrough in solving certain kinds of discrete logarithm problems.  I wasn't sure about how relevant this was to commonly used cryptographic building blocks.  Friend and former colleague Doug W., who has lots of experience with cryptographic implementations in hardware and software, wrote to say that we was skeptical about the applicability to those building blocks.  Now Bruce Schneier has weighed in: not very relevant.
