No really, what if? Despite the vast improbability of it occuring before quantum computers are perfected, I'm just kind of wondering what the RG team would do. Basically, this is settling something with a friend, he thinks that nothing would happen, and that you guys would continue using the (newly compromised) RSA. I think you'd at least try to find a new more suitable algorithim.
Its really a question of little consequence, but I just thought it would be neat to know.

if RG team gets the time, i think they should write there own algorithem
|
What would be the point of that?
Stick with something tried and tested.
cause = time

and what has the security of RSA to do with renguard?! rg's security is broken anyways.. i didnt even know that theyre using rsa for something anywhere.
but since rgh catches the transferred data in RG right before it gets crypted and right after it gets decrypted it really doesnt matter what encryption you are using.
rsa like any other encryption only helps against people who try to sniff the traffic on the outside or something. (man in the middle for example and similar stuff).
