> targeting conventional DH

this is targeting ephemeral diffie-hellman. So this would work on any library/private product where you can "hey guys, we should start using 2048bits for DHE, let me suggest this one". This would not work on DH/RSA/... because people usually generate their own parameters for these.

If this remark was pointed at the fact that ECDHE > DHE: I'm not taking the point of view of an implementer trying to implement "new" crypto, I'm trying to take the point of view of a backdoorer (?) trying to push this backdoor in various products/libraries. And it seems like most still use DHE (some stats are in the logjam paper, but I'll do some stats myself out of scans.io when I get time)
