Stephen Weis factored RSA-896 with Claude AI on Sept 19, 2026, pushing the public factoring record to 896 bits just 16 days ...
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 ...
A researcher’s social media post revealing how to break part of a popular encryption protocol has gone viral. But did he really do it with just “good old pencil and paper”?

Novel attack on RSA cryptography might lower computation requirements for cracking
Not very practical yet, but could serve as the basis for future improvements.
RSA encryption is a major foundation of digital security and is one of the most commonly used forms of encryption, and yet it operates on a brilliantly simple premise: it's easy to multiply two large ...
A new study suggests that breaking RSA encryption with quantum computers may require 20 times fewer resources than previously thought. Although Bitcoin uses elliptic curve cryptography, it remains ...
"Breaking the key requires an astronomical amount of computation." Many people have likely held this belief. Since RSA ...
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 ...
