@strutheo resolve yes

yes

Would you count a deliberately placed backdoor (like the one put in a previous version at the request of the NSA + a $10 million dollar bribe) as "breaking" the encryption?

@Pykess nope , real breaking, as in all system using rsa will be compromised and have to upgrade/change

@strutheo A backdoor would absolutely compromise any and all systems using RSA

@Pykess if someone secretly installed a backdoor on every single system through RSA and nobody has noticed it, then sure (if i am understanding correctly)

@strutheo This is the incident I'm referring to: https://blog.cloudflare.com/how-the-nsa-may-have-put-a-backdoor-in-rsas-cryptography-a-technical-primer

@Pykess yeah idk then, guess we'll see

@strutheo That backdoor was in a library published by RSA Security, founded decades earlier by the inventors of the RSA algorithm.
