As stated in your comment, eliptic curve cryptography relies on discrete logarithm but this algorithm is a method for factoring integers, with ideas similar to the Quadratic Sieve algorithm (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_sieve). It does not extend to breaking eliptic-curve cryptography, for the same reason that the Quadratic Sieve does not extend to eliptic-curve crypto: the underling math problem is different (factorisation vs discrete logarithm). |
