And so time marches on... It'd be neat to have a graph of when various algorithms and numbers of bits were cracked, and see what progress looks like, long-term

And so time marches on... It'd be neat to have a graph of when various algorithms and numbers of bits were cracked, and see what progress looks like, long-term and on average.

  This is a summary of cryptographic hashes being broken via cryptanalysis (breaking the algorithm), not RSA keys (big primes) being factored. I'd love to see the same chart but for prime factorization.

    The Wikipedia page for the RSA Factoring Challenge has a nice chart that shows the dates RSA numbers have been broken: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSA_Factoring_Challenge http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSA_Factoring_Challenge
