I don't recall their name, they were a guest on the Root Causes podcast discussing PQ topics, though your summary varies from what I was trying to express. It's not that RSA will be classically broken, but that novel attacks to reduce factoring times of RSA key like batch attacks have a statistically significant chance of being discovered, that "further" was not meant to imply "completely broken classically," but "weakened further using classical approaches". Sounded plausible to me, though that's not a thing I'm any kind of domain expert in.


Right, batch attacks certainly threaten 1024 bit RSA, but, obviously, 2048 bit RSA is not just incrementally harder to break than 1024 bit RSA.


Anything specific at all would be helpful.



Sorry I'm busy, might have time to spend to look the podcast up in a day or two, but I don't think there's any actual value in that to anyone over an offhand comment so forgive me if I find other things to do instead.
