The section entitled "So what should you use instead?" doesn't make a suggestion of what to use instead...

> Trail of Bits recommends using Curve25519 for key exchange and digital signatures... it is implemented in libsodium, which has easy-to-read documentation and is available for most languages.

You use ECDH to establish keys for sessions or files. You use ECDSA and ECC-Schnorr stuff like Ed25519 to sign things. That covers 99.9% of what RSA is used for. HTH.

This is how most critical articles of crypto end. They criticise the algorithm or system, and then don't offer much in the way of solutions.

They _do_ suggest using ECC, but in practice ECC support is super sporadic, and a lot of products charge extra for it.

Doesn't it say so in the last paragraph of that section?
