I have some conjecture based on some prior knowledge/connections..
First the info:
Phil Zimmermann has a company working on Secure VOIP. I was contacted past 18 months ago to build the android mobile client. Project never lifted off due to some large distraction and the excuses I was given never matched up to reality.
I submit because of Phil's connections to other RSA inventors and break-ins that occurred in the past 24 months that the distraction was a major hole was found in RSA or the process to secure it. The RSA inventors are consultants/board members of the the secure VOIP firm(Phil Zimmermann's firm).
At this time its only conjecture and there are no concrete facts out in the open to fully confirm it. However, there are some analysis out there such as the authors that point to a major breach of RSA in the last 24 months that highlights new RSA holes in either the RSA itself or the process in securing RSA keys.

- burgerbrain 15y agoA "RSA hole", as far as I am aware, would be "somebody found a fast way to factor numbers". There wouldn't exactly be a fix for that except to move to another trap door function.
