Hi Perry,
  It seems that all on the list might have read "A Cost-Based Security Anal=
ysis 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 thi=
s...
  BTW I did try to get hold of Nicko's old costing analysis which he claime=
d to have made on the list when the discussion was on  Bernstein ,but wit=
h no luck.
regards

Subject: Shamir factoring machine uninteresting?


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?
