is it over?

[FoBoT]

i am getting "Bad Authentication" , so i went looking for the official forum to see if others had a problem

there is a thread there (http://forum.skanet.org/viewtopic.php?t=186)

it says


RSA-576 has been factored by the programming team of J. Franke, T. Kleinjung, P. Montgomery, H. te Riele, F. Bahr, D. Leclair, Paul Leyland and R. Wackerbarth. Institutions involved include Bonn University, the Max Planck Institute, the Experimental Mathematics Institute in Essen, CWI, NFSNET, and Microsoft Research. For this development and application of the GNFS algorithm, they will split $10,000.00.

I'm not sure if it's over, but they said they would start factoring the 640 bit key in 2004 using a new method.....

What? Really?

I thought that it will take millions of years to do this thing?

Bummer.:cry:

hi, yes it's over!!! :)

now they will be able to focus on the RSA-640 :)
a new thread will be created too?
