In this paper, the authors re-examine the reduction of Maurer and Wolf of the discrete
logarithm problem to the Diffie-Hellman problem. They give a precise estimate for the
number of operations required in the reduction, and then use this to estimate the exact
security of the elliptic curve variant of the Diffie-Hellman protocol for various elliptic curves
defined in standards.
