Interesting genuine abstract and links to the paper.
With this little note sleeping at the last:
... """ very efficient full key recovery for RSA-1024. We also provide strong evidence
that the same attack works for RSA-2048 with only moderately more computation."""

Thought attribute=notmuch:

Vuu-do
GNU/Linux project, using Devuan as a base.
This is a minimal setup, a base to build on with the programs/packages of your choice.
There is an Openbox and a Mate version.
All images are hybrid-isos (live-CD/USB), so you can test-drive prior to installing.
NB. This project has been localized for English and UTF-8.

... all the infrastructure and utilities needed for a base system.
...cushy for Openbox, makes it easy for even a new linux user.
