RSA Says 1024-bit Encryption is Still Secure
RSA refutes assertions that 1024-bit encryption is not secure. Though
a Bugtraq mailing list discussion concluded that 1024-bit encryption
was "compromised," RSA maintains the paper on which the discussion
was based is theoretical, and says the encryption is secure.

[Editor's (Schultz) Note: It is amazing how speculation and conjecture
can be interpreted as fact.  Just because Bernstein *thinks* of an
architecture that he *thinks* can break 1024-bit RSA encryption does
not in any way mean than 1024-bit RSA encryption is any weaker than
it was before.  Where is the proof of concept?]
