Google DeepMind says its models found two major weaknesses in legacy 1024-bit RSA cryptosystems. A follow-up post says modern 2048-bit systems remain safe from these specific exploits. The posts do not name the affected systems or link a paper.

Google DeepMind says its models found two major weaknesses in legacy 1024-bit RSA cryptosystems.
Guided by humans, our models uncovered two major weaknesses in legacy 1024-bit RSA cryptosystems.
The lab posted the claim today. The verified account posted at 1:20 p.m. AST on November 6. It says it is sharing research on how AI agents can accelerate the science of stress-testing encryption.

The Circuitry is a passion project I've always wanted to build, and I love the work behind it.

Running it costs real money. APIs, hosting, time. To keep improving the site and growing this into something useful for everyone, those costs have to be covered.

Any contribution is appreciated. If not, no pressure. Thanks for reading.
