- 1Researchers forge 1024-bit RSA signatures in near-record time●Forging 1024-bit RSA signatures in nearly SNFS time [pdf]
A new cryptographic paper describes a method for forging 1024-bit RSA signatures at speeds approaching the Special Number Field Sieve's theoretical performance. The work, published on the IACR eprint archive, signals that 1024-bit RSA keys, long considered deprecated, are moving closer to practical attacks and that applications should migrate to 2048-bit or larger keys.
- 2Myrtle Beach, Pigeon Forge and Branson Offer Three Flavors of Americana▼Travel: Myrtle Beach, Pigeon Forge and Branson offer 3 distinct flavors of Americana
