Claimed proof of the Riemann Hypothesis released

[Perry E. Metzger]

news.com.com.com.com.com reports:

  A mathematician at Purdue University claims to have come up with a
  proof for the Riemann hypothesis, often called the greatest unsolved
  math problem, although the work has yet to be peer-reviewed.

  Louis de Branges de Bourcia, the Edward C. Elliott Distinguished
  Professor of Mathematics at Purdue's School of Science, this week
  posted a 23-page paper detailing his attempts at a proof.

Actual practical impact on cryptography? Likely zero, even if it turns
out the proof is correct (which of course we don't know yet), but it
still is neat for math geeks.
