| Nov 6, 2021 at 20:06 | comment | added | george s | okay, understood. and the factoring challenge was supposed to find faster algorithms. What was the RSA Secret Key challenge? | |

It is all written in Wikipedia: The DES Challenges were a series of brute force attack contests created by RSA Security to highlight the lack of security provided by the Data Encryption Standard.

| Nov 6, 2021 at 19:18 | comment | added | george s | what were the different aims of the three different challenges? according to Wikipedia the factoring challenge ran from 1991 to 2007, the RSA Secret-Key Challenge from 1997 to 2007 and the DES challenge from 1997 to 1999. The factoring challenge is clear: decompose semi-primes. What exactly did the other challenges demand? | |
