14. Special-Purpose Hardware in
Cryptanalysis: The Case of 1,024-Bit RSA
Discussion in asymmetric cryptography circles currently focuses on 1,024-bit
RSA key security. Interestingly, in this discussion, a major argument put
forward for the insecurity of 1,024-bit RSA isn't due to paramount theoretical
progress but to hypothetical hardware devices for factoring large numbers.
Unlike quantum computers, these special-purpose designs try to work within the
bounds of existing technology; this article looks at the ideas underlying some
of these designs and their potential. Get more
