This contains an Index of Foilset Suitable for Printing (There is no easy way of Printing all foils -- just the index)
This just contains Title of Foilset and Links
We describe the RSA Factoring Problem and the solution developed by Lenstra and collaborators with sieving techniques of increasing power
The Web was used succesfully in the just completed RSA130 factoring -- an almost embarassingly parallel but very non trivial computation
The mathematicians are preparing code for RSA155 factorization and probably Web will be critical here to increase resources from Teraop-hours (RSA129/130) to the needed Teraop-Months (RSA155)
We overview architecture of FAFNER system used and lessons drawn for general Metacomputing administration MetaWeb
