Paul Hoffman:
Again, I strongly strongly doubt that Mallory will try to break a 1024-bit key for this attack, at least for 20 years or more.
I'm not sure from where you got this information, because apparently a group of people succeeded in cracking the key with 650 and something bytes already about two years ago with about 40 64bit AMD dual machines in four month time. I write this all from memory because I can't find that article again. I'm sure a big cluster of always getting stronger CPUs (dual, quad, oct cores) will able to to get on 1024 bit keys in an ever shorter time until the point to make it economically interesting.
