James Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 Emmanuel Thomé and his colleagues at the National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Automation (Inria) have cracked the largest key so far. The team factored RSA-240, an RSA key with 240 decimal digits. The total computing time took was equivalent to a single computer core running for almost 4000 years. https://www.newscientist.com/article/2226458-number-crunchers-set-new-record-for-cracking-online-encryption-keys/ https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/math/a30149512/longest-encryption-ever-cracked/ https://www.darkreading.com/vulnerabilities---threats/scientists-break-largest-encryption-key-yet-with-brute-force/d/d-id/1336560 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
