Paillier estimate attack costs on short keys

I was thinking about how to use the homeomorphic property of that cryptosystem to achieve not a "semantic security" but a less ambitous obfuscation of the source code (an ipotetical scenario ...

Which RSA keys are actually attacked In practice?

I understand that it is important to check how hard it is to attack RSA keys, but I assume at some key size attackers would not even try. Real attacks are carried out by exploiting mistakes in the ...
