Thanks tofu-sensei.

I saw this in the nfo also, however, it doesn't really explain the reference to RSA-525. I have seen one references to RSA-576 for example in:

http://www.crypto-world.com/FactorRecords.html

Part of what is "strange" about it is that this articles description of RSA-576 involves "only" 174 digits, while all the other "general purpose factoring records" which involve "RSA" designations the combination equals the number of digits used. For example, from the article, RSA-200 involved "200" digits, while RSA-576 involved only "174".

Although we have some real crypto experts on the Woodmann RCE Forum, I'm certainly not one of them, and just do general reading on the subject, which explains my familiarity with RSA-512.

Regards,
