- gaha 6y agoLink to the revised paper [1] from the twitter thread. The claim "This destroys the RSA cryptosystem." in the abstract is unchanged. [1] https://eprint.iacr.org/2021/232 https://eprint.iacr.org/2021/232
- usr1106 6y agoThe abstract talks about integers approximately 2^400 2^800. How does that translate to key length? Without being a cryptographer I would claim to know that 400 or 800 bit keys are not very secure. The wording to destroy the RSA system is click bait. It certainly does not raise my confidence into their mathematical work, which I and many others don't understand.
