Factoring Runtimes

The factoring of RSA-768 in 2009 took two years running parallel on hundreds of computers. Evaluate the following to watch how long it takes to multiply the factors of RSA-768.

 

Here’s a runtime test for how long it takes to factor an RSA modulus. The graph shows factoring time in seconds vs. bitlength of the modulus. This takes a little time to run.
