Ah, the noble pursuit of finding out which fashion faux pas your RSA keys are making. 👕🔑 Apparently, all it takes to breach #cryptography these days is a bit of polynomial algebra and a misplaced sleeve. 🤷‍♂️ Who knew the real #cybersecurity threat was a short-sleeve oversight on a mathematician's laundry day? 🧺💥

Factoring "short-sleeve" RSA keys with polynomials

We found hundreds of weak RSA and DSA keys with biased bits that we could quickly factor using a new polynomial-based cryptanalytic technique.

"Justifying division in basis systems"
This article investigates when division by / cancellation of monomials works in homogeneous toric ideals, specifically concerning toric ideals of matroids and their subideals generated by quadratic binomials, with applications to the Neil
White conjecture.
