This obviously would render all prime-factor based cryptography algorithms obsolete. I have warned the FBI about this for a while, however; what everyone wanted from me was an algorithm that does ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA — The most recent email you sent was likely encrypted using a tried-and-true method that relies on the idea that even the fastest computer would be unable to efficiently break a gigantic ...
