Near and Future Projects
WWW-Based Project Undertaken at NPAC
RSA Factoring Challenge
- People are protecting their data and money using 155- digit (i.e., 512-bit) numbers.
- WWW-factoring project is the first large scale project that makes use of a new and factoring method - the Number Field Sieve (NFS).
- First goal was to factor RSA 130 - ultimate goal to to break a RSA 155.
