    I'm not sure which is more worrying, "these parameters were generated after months of careful research by NSA mathematicians following detailed classified instructions that we'll never see" or "these parameters were kinda hacked together by an NSA guy having a bit of a laugh". It's hardly NUMS in either case.

    I was disappointed to see RSA corp discontinue their prime bounties.

    Glad to see this now :)
