We finally finished the universal signature forgery for 1024-bit RSA! 2^32 oracle queries, 1200 core years precomputation, 180 core years for an individual forgery, and 3 years of human labor (no AI involved) by Laura, Adam, Nadia, Emmanuel and me to pull of this computation against real HSMs.
![call for talks
WAC accepts proposals for contributed talks. Submissions will be evaluated based on their relevance to the following topics:
- Cryptanalysis of deployed cryptography
- Cryptanalysis of recently suggested cryptographic schemes or primitives
- New cryptoanalytic techniques
- Systems attacks breaking cryptography or bypassing underlying assumptions
Please include the following information in your contributed talk submission.
- Title.
- Description of the talk content, including: short abstract (to be published on the website on talk acceptance), and one of the following three: extended abstract describing the talk. [preferred option], a full paper and a short description of which aspects the talk will focus on. slides for a presentation, together with either speaker notes or a short outline of the non-visual content of the talk.
- Speaker information: Name, Affiliation, Short bio (to be published on the website on talk acceptance), A brief description of the relevant experience of the speaker, e.g. links to previous talks.
Submit your proposal by email to the organizers at wac@cryptanalysis.fun by July 3, 2026 AoE.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:yks27ajyuw46dn6uli6tiurm/bafkreigijuejovnd6nkj4qv3zstquy6zypals6tqcw3by2njr4bfycyek4)
