Did You See...

Well, Obviously, like us you guys are out of neo.

However, according to them, RSA576 has been solved. This was according to NEO, and RSA has made no public announcement of this.

Salatar let me in on it....

If you are interested, check out neos front page. No info on who/when/where...

well check the neo front page now..
We have started development of our new client and expect to have something available for private testing with in the month. We have taken "The Squares of RSA-576" off of our page as it was getting a little confusing, people were mistaking it for the factors of the RSA-576 challenge and actually submitting them to RSA and trying to claim the prize.

and from the rsa:
quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RSA-576 has not been factored. The Neo Project found a way to express RSA-576 as the sum of three squares, but not the prime factors of RSA-576. The RSA Challenge requires the prime factors.

Thanks for checking.

Subject: RSA-576 factored?


I just read a report that the Neo Project (http://www.theneoproject.com/) has announced that RSA-576 has been factored right on their front web page.

Could you please confirm this for the Distributed Computing (DC) world to hear? If this is so it is a huge success for DC.

Thank you

I like the way mike has changed the wording around to suite hisself. squares of rsa-576, lol, they were supposed to be working hand and foot with the rsa people. lol, some bull sheeting

[Brushfire]

a whole LOT of BS... heh
