   I was unaware of snfs algorithms for generic moduli and/or signatures. Very nice. The theoretical result is purely due to the 2007 Joux et al. paper. What’s new is the implementation and the 1024-bit rsa signature forgery.

   Also no ai, so we can expect some speedups soon.

   I really didn’t expect rsa to be targeted so much this year. Hope that these results will motivate people to pursue algorithmic improvements!
