If what you say is true, then your posting the theory of this method (which you
claim to have done a year ago) already puts you in grave danger.  Why are you

Academic mathematicians in the US won't report the result! And the
NSA relies on academics for research at this level.

They're protecting their turf!!!

The only way to get the attention of the NSA would be to factor a very
large number.

So the catch is that academic mathematicians refuse to acknowledge it,
so there is no trigger for any of the big security organizations.

still free?  But you would not need to take anything to the FBI.  Just crack one
publicly-known public RSA key, and send the private key privately to just one of
your critics here.  That person would be instantly convinced, and throw his

From past situations with my other math research said person would
probably snap.

That is, go completely bonkers.

Besides, if they did the right thing, they'd go to the FBI--as they
probably can't even get to the NSA--and then they'd end up imprisoned
along with me, and it might be a nice place or a harsh place but no
matter how nice it was or what it was called it would be prison.

none (except, as has been previously noted, from your kitchen implements)..

Nope. I'm safe now because mathematicians won't acknowledge the
result.

So there is no trigger for the NSA. They rely on the academic
mathematicians!

That means I can simply talk about the result as a research result--
which it is--popularizing the solving by quadratic residues modulo N.

More than likely researchers in some other country than the US will
realize it works, and the news will spread rapidly, get back to this
country, and then I'll chat with the NSA without worry of
disappearing.

And I'll explain to president Obama at that time as well as probably
some Senate committees.
