Schnorr comes again. Will he really break RSA this time? But he still didn't give any concrete examples that can enable us to quickly verify his claim.

    He fixed the 'destroyes' --> 'destroys' which took away the charm from it. – mostlycryptic Jul 12 '21 at 05:01

    I stand by my answer to the previous question (I'm not sure there is a point in re-posting that as an answer): if the claim was true, then there would be an extremely simple way to prove it: 10^10 arithmetic operations is nothing. There are tons of 800-bit factoring challenges available online. The author could just solve them and include the factorization in the submission; the lack of such a straightforward validation should be taken as empirical evidence that the claim is, as of today, unsubstantiated at best. – Geoffroy Couteau Jul 12 '21 at 13:43

    Kind of agree, but the fact that the author thinks that there is a more efficient way to refactor doesn't mean that it is necessarily easy to implement the attack. That said, so far all attempts have failed it seems. – Maarten Bodewes Jul 23 '21 at 12:41
