There are two curves you have to worry about, one is computation, the
other is advances in mathmatics. Even if some great advance was made in
factoring, a larger key *might* remain safe. This is the reason, not
increased computational power. That is, unless you have proven some
verry interesting things about factoring numbers and algorithmic complexity.
