 [http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-lochter-pkix-brainpool-ecc-03 ECC Brainpool Standard Curves and Curve Generation] new elliptic curve parameters which come with a proof that they were generated deterministically and pseudorandomly from the first few bits of pi, as well as proofs that they are immune to certain other potential cryptographic weaknesses.

+[http://eprint.iacr.org/2009/389 On the Security of 1024-bit RSA and 160-bit Elliptic Curve Cryptography] crypto gurus try to predict whether 160-bit elliptic curve crypto can be brute-force-cracked in the next decade.  They conclude: "Right now most certainly not: 2.5 billion PS3s or equivalent devices (such as desktops) for a year is way out of reach. In a decade, very optimistically incorporating 10-fold cryptanalytic advances, still millions of devices would be required, and a successful open community attack on 160-bit ECC even by the year 2020 must be considered very unlikely."
