Re: RSA question

Okay, guess I should measure the primes in the size of their bits, not
digits. Have to work that into the system... I guess I'll use then 300
bit numbers, that should be good enough. I've heard about a 640 bit
number being factored. But, as I recall, it was a distributed network,
which I'm sure won't really make any kind of a difference to me. I'm
just planning on running a program on my own computer. The program will
be multi-user, to open a database of files, that will have different
keys. Occasionally, a new key will need to be passed to a user, which
after careful consideration, I decided the best way to do so was via
RSA. Thanks for the help!
