    is it over?

    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

    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.....

    I haven't lost my mind; it's backed up on tape drive somewhere.

    What? Really?

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

    Bummer.
