>tptacek(2017May): The point of modern RSA is that we use a modulus that can't be factored by any conceivable computer, with limits derived from the physics of computation and projected far out into the future. We aren't a supercomputer advance away from factoring 2048 bit moduli.
Today(-ish)? HN's anointed crypto expert says no.
