Terranson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Forwarded message -- Date: Tue, 16 Apr 2002 09:47:02 -0700 (PDT) From: Person <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [303] If you're sick of crypto talk don't read this Quote from http://www.rsasecurity.com/rsalabs/technotes/bernstein.html: 'Finally, the recent concern [2] [3] [9] about the security of 1024-bit RSA keys is based in part on a misreading of Bernstein's paper. These references quote an estimate that for about $1 billion, a national agency could build a factoring machine based on Bernstein's design that could break a 1024-bit RSA key in a matter of "seconds to minutes". However, a factor of 10 billion or more was inadvertently left out of the running time in the preliminary analysis --- which means that the actual running time, assuming the machine could be built, would be measured in decades (see Note 1). Moreover, Bernstein himself is quoted [5] as saying "This is a theoretical advance. I have no idea and nobody else has any idea how practical it might be."' Now granted, RSA has a vested interest in calming down the FUD on the perceived weakening of cryptosystems based on IFP (of which they are the most popular), but they raise a valid point. The preliminary analysis that Bernstein described was hardware-implemented circuits to do odd/even transposition sorting and then to find smooth numbers (an integer with no prime factors). This would be done (in theory) via RAM sieving, parallel trial division, or parallel elliptic curve methods. It's unclear as to which method would be the most efficient in hardware. In fact, the methodology outlined in page eight of Bernstein's paper (http://cr.yp.to/papers/nfscircuit.ps) is extremely theoretical, to the point of casting doubt on whether it's even worth discussing the NFS itself without another five or six years of research on these preliminary operations. Something I've said time and again, that RSA won't say, is this: if you are worried about the security of your RSA public key based on it's seemingly obsolete size but you don't want to deal with the processor overhead of doubling your RSA keysize, just switch to an equivalent size Diffie-Hellman key. Easy as that. [t]
