to check - are you being ironic with the "enisa does it again"?)

The algorithms and key sizes document looks almost like an updated
version of the ECRYPT II Yearly Report on Algorithms and Key Lengths
(2012), a document that sadly has not been updated for a couple of years:

http://www.ecrypt.eu.org/documents/D.SPA.20.pdf

IMHO a really good document that among others gives a good description
of key lengths versus attacks in a way that is understandable by many.
Quite a few of the people behind the ENISA report are the same. Nigel
Smart for example.

I've pointed to the ECRYPT document several times to customers, used in
in presos and nagged Nigel and others behind it to do an updated version.

The ENISA report is not the same document. The section on key lengths is
much shorter and does not try to put key lengths in context nor compare
for example RSA keys with symmetric keys.
