it gave me headache in 2 turns, just like opus 5 !
I am not a cryptography expert but I am interested in the field. Having said that: I am lately having an hard time understanding the actual strength of a crypto suite based on the underlying problem, the sized of the material and the computation strength needed to break it either via optimization and parallelism capabilities.

> The Web PKI deprecated 1024-bit RSA over a decade ago, and while I don’t know of anyone factoring a key of that size, it’s within the realm of possibility for a government or other organization with a large number of computers.

Is it? How do I verify such claim?

Yeah, but how much time it required? and what about the resources? It is just a number, it is not all the 861 bits n numbers.

i would really like to understand what you wrote. I thought SVP was O(2^n)
could this be a problem for the security of Falcon (aka FN-DSA) post quantum signature scheme?
Ah, yes. The Metal Gear Mk.II Thank you, kojima
