Re:The surprising persistence of RSA keys in SSH by bawolff on Saturday May 30, 2020 @01:50PM (#23363075)
Are there attacks on RSA with appropriate key sizes? We replaced SHA-1 because the attacks, even if just theoretical, were clearly on the horizon (and we replaced with sha-256 which is basically the same thing with a few tweaks and some parameters increased). RSA certainly has attacks, but they have been compensated with bigger key sizes. Is there any reason to suspect that 4096 bit RSA will be unsafe anytime soon, other than quantum computers?
