Re: Crypto Mini-FAQ

In your "Will Quantum Cryptography make RSA obselete?" question you
say "Moore's Law is a bigger threat to RSA."

Moore's law makes RSA stronger, provided you upsize your key at
regular intervals. Because of moore's law i can use a bigger key to
encrypt and decrypt at the same speed as a smaller key..

Because adding bits to the key makes an attack harder more faster than
it slows the encryption process down.. Upsizing your key gives you
more bang per buck, so to speak.. You get more security for the same
amount of CPU time.
