I have code to generate the RSA key pairs and modulus, what I am looking for is code to factorise a number using one of the better algorithms (quadratic sieve, etc.).
It's been established that the encryption in Netscape is 40 bit RC4, not 40 bit RSA, but if anyone's still looking for the quadratic sieve code, look on Derek Atkins' ftp site toxicwaste.mit.edu. Arjen Lenstra may have made the large number field sieve (LNFS) code available somewhere, but I'm not sure. -- Michael Handler <grendel@netaxs.com> Civil Liberty Through Complex Mathematics Philadelphia, PA PGP Key ID FC031321 Print: 9B DB 9A B0 1B 0D 56 DA 61 6A 57 AD B2 4C 7B AF "Toi qui fais au proscrit ce regard calme et haut" -- Baudelaire * Skotoseme
