RSA Challenge
Factoring large (very large) numbers is hard (very hard). Indeed, most
of the security features of the online world depend on this fact. To aid
in research into factorization, and to check that no-one can break the system
used to encrypt sensitive data, RSA laboratories have provided a challenge to
factor several large numbers. Only one such number, RSA-1024, is given
here:
13506641086599522334960321627880596993888147560566 The problem is to find the factors of this 309-digit number. For further information,
