  Absolute looney toons garbage. Check the list of previous publications and you'll find that in the past 3 months(!) the author claims to have broken RSA, disproved the existence of dark matter, and shown that irrational and complex numbers do not exist.

  I didn't see anything in the press release that would convince me this is real.

  Just saw this on LinkedIn posted by the author of the paper. He claims that with this, RSA 2048 can easily be broken.

  There's not much information about this yet, but if true it will accelerate the end of RSA.
