There's a New Way to Break RSA Encryption

TL;DRResearchers found a faster way to break RSA encryption without factoring large numbers.

Why it matters: If practical, this could weaken RSA security globally and force urgent cryptography updates.

"Signature forgery." It's a new way to break RSA keys — and it doesn't require factoring. Ars Technica reports on new research using classical computing to "reduce the current RSA security level to an unacceptably low threshold" and lower the required computing resources by…
