Hi,

There's a new biggest known RSA modulus.
It is (in hexadecimal notation):

FF...(total of 9289166 F's)...FFDFF...(total of 1488985
F's)...FF800...(total of 9289165 0's)...001

It is guaranteed to be the product of two different large primes,=20
and it has more than 80 million bits. Impressive security...

Grtz,
Benne de Weger
