Re: Why hasn't NTRU gained more penetration?

I was looking at a recent posting regarding updated NTRU code and decided to look at the algorithm a bit closer.

I am not a big fan of the quantum ideologues claiming that quantum will end RSA and ECC, but was intrigued by the key size arguments.

Why has NTRU not made similar progress as ECC (that is a total guess on my side, but I just don't see the same market acceptance of NTRU)?

Is it a function of cost, complexity, patents or something else?

Thanks

1 It has sometimes failed to decrypt correctly.
2 Few people have studied it compared to RSA.
3 Nobody will pay me to study it.
4 No PROOF of degree of security is claimed.
5 There are so many other jobs to do with more benefit, like getting
people to use good passwords.
6 Immunity to quantum computers is not important in this century. Try
again in 2111.
