Uit de PGP Attack FAQ:
Still, factoring large numbers is hard. However, with the advances
in number theory and computing power, it is getting easier. In 1977
Ron Rivest said that factoring a 125-digit number would take
40 quadrillion years. In 1994 RSA129 was factored using about
5000 MIPS-years of effort from idle CPU cycles on computers across
the Internet for eight months. In 1995 the Blacknet key (116 digits)
was factored using about 400 MIPS-years of effort (1 MIPS-year is
a 1,000,000 instruction per second computer running for one year)
from several dozen workstations and a MasPar for about three months.
Given current trends the keysize that can be factored will only
increase as time goes on. The table below estimates the effort
required to factor some common PGP-based RSA public-key modulous
lengths using the General Number Field Sieve:
KeySize MIPS-years required to factor
-----------------------------------------------------------------
512 30,000
768 200,000,000
1024 300,000,000,000
2048 300,000,000,000,000,000,000
Dus voorlopig zit je met 2048 bit keys wel goed. Er is trouwens een versie
van PGP (2.6.3in) die je 8192 bit RSA keys laat aanmaken, maar dat heeft
niet zo heel veel zin omdat het dan waarschijnlijk eenvoudiger wordt om de
IDEA cypher te kraken (een PGP bericht wordt gecodeerd met IDEA omdat dat
sneller is dan RSA, de sleutel daarvan wordt gecodeerd met RSA en
meegestuurd met het bericht. Het is, om een PGP bericht te kraken, dus
voldoende om een van beide systemen te kraken):
The next chart shows some estimates for the equivalences in brute
force key searches of symmetric keys and brute force factoring
of asymmetric keys, using the NFS.
Symmetric Asymmetric
------------------------------------------------------------------
56-bits 384-bits
64-bits 512-bits
80-bits 768-bits
112-bits 1792-bits
128-bits 2304-bits
It was said by the 4 men who factored the Blacknet key that
"Organizations with 'more modest' resources can almost certainly
break 512-bit keys in secret right now."
