Comment on 4096 RSA key in the strongset factored?Comments−asciilifeform11yAuthor of 'phuctor' speaking. We did not break RSA! Please put that Luger down, unload it. You have things to live for!We only found (at the time of this writing) two sets of two poor buggers each who happened to have generated RSA keys having a common factor.−noondip11yIs the origin of the keys and why they're broken in this way known? Perhaps they were generated on embedded devices and their demise could be traced back to an early boot time entropy problem.−asciilifeform11yNot known to me.
