More on Bernstein's Number Field Sieve

Posted by michael on from the winnow-him-out-'twixt-star-and-star dept.

Russ Nelson writes "Dan Bernstein has a response to Bernstein's NFS analyzed by Lenstra and Shamir, entitled Circuits for integer factorization. He notes that the issue of the cost of factorization is still open, and that it may in fact be inexpensive to factor 1024-bit keys. We don't know, and that's what his research is intended to explore."

    In the future, when editing (you guys do that...right?) Please replace the NFS in this usage with "Number Field Sieve". (That's what this is talking about, right?)

    You are confusing all the unix file sharing people. This is like when talking about IP addresses with people who work more with "I"ntelectual "P"roperty.
