[Fwd from Cypherpunks]
Some recent work from EUROCRYPT '98:
http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/abstracts/no_rsa_red.html
(abstract)
http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/no_rsa_red.ps.gz (full
paper, gzipped PostScript)
However, they've only proved that breaking RSA != factoring, so they don't
think they've exposed any weakness in RSA. Just another
datapoint...
