A primer on elliptic curve cryptography

Doing 256 bit sign ecdsa's for 10s: 42874 256 bit ECDSA signs in 9.99s

Doing 2048 bit private rsa's for 10s: 1864 2048 bit private RSA's in 9.99s

That's 23 times as many signatures using ECDSA as RSA.

42 874 256

18 642 048

23 times as many signatures?

I think it's 42874/1864=23. (256 and 2048 is presumably the key strength).
