Potential-Couple-745 · reddit · 2026-11-09
Google DeepMind's AI agents, working with cryptographers, reduced the estimated cost of forging RSA-1024 signatures and identified a cheaper factoring approach. The report cites no CVEs, cost figures or affected implementations, so practical impact on deployed systems remains unclear. Defenders should track the underlying research and review remaining RSA-1024 usage.
