# Adi Shamir's secret database of all primes

I was going through these presentation slides (PDF) on Crypto 2013.

It summarizes the paper, Factoring RSA keys from certiﬁed smart cards: Coppersmith in the wild.

In the last slide, it was mentioned that one possible future work to be done is to use the “Adi Shamir's secret database of all primes” to attempt breaking RSA-1024. I tried to Google for “Adi Shamir's secret database of all primes”, but I can't find anything. Does anyone have any idea about this "database"?

That database is to cryptography venues what the Dahu is to French summer camps. Also see the answers to this. $\;$ The three other 'future work' items in the presentation are in the same vein. – fgrieu Jul 7 '14 at 6:25
+1 for a good morning laugh. :D – fkraiem Jul 7 '14 at 8:00
@fgrieu I tried to come up with something more… “meaty”, but your comment practically answers the question on-point. So, maybe it would make sense to post it as an answer? I’ld surely upvote it. – e-sushi Jul 7 '14 at 17:40
It exists, but you can't select from it because the programmer forgot to put a with(nolock) on the insert sproc. – Andrew Hoffman Jul 8 '14 at 17:58

The three other future work items in the quoted presentation are in the same vein (Breaking RSA-1024 with Fermat factoring; Breaking RSA-1024 using $1024 = 2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2$; Breaking RSA-1024 using Intel's new RDRAND_NSAKEY instruction).
