RSA Security announces new Factoring Challenges

[Trei, Peter]

My employer, RSA Security, has revamped its Factoring Challenges.

Prizes now start at US$10,000 (factorization of a 576 bit modulus) to
US$200,000 (factorization of a 2048 modulus).

These are much higher prizes than were previously offered, and it is
hoped that their offer will spur new research.

For details, including the challenge numbers, see:
