I agree. It would be nice if the line:
> RSA 2048: yellow recommended to change
was followed by at least some link that explains why is it unsafe. Could anyone elaborate further?
UPDATE: there is now a link up in this thread, from the user fjarlq, which points to an NSA recommendation from 2015. The recommendation seems to be related to the need of having a "quantum computing resistant" key. But with quantum computing still in its infancy, how do we know which types of keys would be adequate?
- riffraff 10y agoI think we don't know which one will be adequate but we do know that RSA won't be, hence the recommendation.
- lmm 10y agoMany theoretical aspects of quantum computing are well-understood, just as a lot of early work on computational complexity etc. predates the existence of (nonhuman) computers.
