Welcome to the resource topic for 2012/444

Title:
Factorization of a 1061-bit number by the Special Number Field Sieve

Authors: Greg Childers

Abstract:

I provide the details of the factorization of the Mersenne number 2^{1061}-1 by the Special Number Field Sieve. Although this factorization is easier than the completed factorization of RSA-768, it represents a new milestone for factorization using publicly available software.
