Hi Perry, It seems that all on the list might have read "A Cost-Based Security Analysis of Symmetric and Asymmetric Key Lengths" by Robert D. Silverman :-) and have similiar lines of thought.Or may be they are just too bored of this... BTW I did try to get hold of Nicko's old costing analysis which he claimed to have made on the list when the discussion was on Bernstein ,but with no luck. regards

I find it odd that there has been so little comment on TWIRL. One would think that the crushing of 512 bit RSA keys and a strong demonstration of the weakness of 1024 bit RSA keys would have provoked some comment on the list. Any comments on why no one commented? -- Perry E.
