Rsa Number

The RSA numbers, listed by security company RSA Security, are certain large semiprime numbers (i.e., numbers with exactly two prime factors); they form the basis of the RSA Factoring Challenge, in which factorisations for these numbers are sought. Cash prizes have been offered for successful factorisations of RSA-576 to RSA-2048. The first RSA numbers generated, from RSA-100 to RSA-500, were labeled according to their number of decimal digits; later, however, beginning with RSA-576, binary digits are counted instead. An exception to this is RSA-617, which was created prior to the change in the numbering scheme.

The mathematics

Let n be a RSA Number. There are prime numbers p and q such that
n=pq.
The problem is to find these two primes, given only n. Let s be p+q; then the values of some basic arithmetic functions are
d(n) = 2
\phi(n)=(p-1)(q-1) = n + 1 - s
\sigma(n)=(p+1)(q+1) = n + 1 + s.
