Stephen Weis factored RSA-896 with Claude AI on Sept 19, 2026, pushing the public factoring record to 896 bits just 16 days after the prior mark ...
RSA succeeded beyond what its creators could have imagined. But as we approach its 50th anniversary, we are also approaching ...
The technique still takes 1,380 CPU core-years, but that's down from the estimated 500,000 to 1 million CPU core-years it takes to factor a key.
IntroductionHello everyone. This is Pei from WingArc1st.For a long time, RSA was the mainstream for public-key cryptography ...
RSA-896, a 270-digit encryption benchmark, was factored on September 19, 2026, by Anthropic engineer Stephen Weis using Claude AI and 2,048 GPUs -- making it the second AI-assisted integer ...
Not very practical yet, but could serve as the basis for future improvements.
RSA is dead, long live RSA! At the end of December 2022, Chinese researchers published a paper claiming that they can crack RSA encryption using current-generation quantum computing. For decades, the ...
In contrast to the cooperative preparations required for setting up private key encryption, such as secret-sharing and close coordination between sender and receiver ...
Hot on the heels of Diffie-Hellman upending the cryptography applecart in 1976 came three more crypto newcomers that further revolutionized the field: Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman. The ...
The famous cryptographers Leonard Adleman, Ronald Rivest, and Adi Shamir – the developers of the RSA encryption code – received the Association for Computing Machinery’s 2002 Turing Award “for their ...
