Hi all

Would an algorithm that could factor large integers quickly, lets say RSA-260 in a couple of minutes, have any real legitimate commercial value beyond academic interest and helping to inform encryption strategies?

Best wishes,

Kevin

Hello @kevin1342
 
I wonder if you meant to post this topic in the https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/f/231/encryption-methods-and-programs/ subforum, directly above this one?
