Shamir factoring machine uninteresting?

[Anish]

Hi Perry,
  It seems that all on the list might have read "A Cost-Based Security Analysis of Symmetric and Asymmetric Key Lengths" by Robert D. Silverman :-)
and have similiar lines of thought.Or may be they are just too bored of this...
  BTW I did try to get hold of Nicko's old costing analysis which he claimed to have made on the list when the discussion was on  Bernstein ,but with no luck.
regards


anish

I find it odd that there has been so little comment on TWIRL. One
would think that the crushing of 512 bit RSA keys and a strong
demonstration of the weakness of 1024 bit RSA keys would have provoked
some comment on the list.

Any comments on why no one commented?
