What would be the effect of publicly sharing solutions to Trapdoor functions?

[zekchelovek]

  If i publicly share the direct solutions for the factoring and discrete log problems, will that have the effect of increasing or decreasing government/big tech ability to control and manipulate people?  Is there enough robustness to current online cryptographic methods to remain functionally secure, with these fundamental math problems solved?  I am looking for feedback to decide what to do next.  Thanks

Who knows, indeed.

I'm so confident that you don't have this that I would bet literally any amount against (if I was a betting man.)

The real answer is that there would be chaos. There would be some wars, there would be some pockets of stability, and the most entrenched powerful people would carry on as a new order re-formed below them. Old money and vertically integrated megabillionaires would watch from perfect safety as it all unfolded.

For most people on the planet, they'd be plunged into a well of uncertainty, chaos, and violence, find a new normal in the end eventually for whoever survives the upheaval. Then a new generation will be born whose parents will tell them what tiktok was like back before the bombs fell.

The silver lining is that OP may solve a Millenium problem along the way, which would net them $1M of then worthless money.

Ok

If you really have solved fundamental problems, then try to start a challenge where you solve people's math problems.

You can set-up a completely anonymous website where science people can post their problems, other science people can vote for and you try to solve the 3 upvoted.

Try to stay covered as much as possible - I think you'll be a target, when bad actors know about you.

So, you'll give a chance for a soft transition to new math in cryptography.

(If I understood your text properly ..)

Sorry, i didn't address your suggestion. I don't put any complete algorithms in a computer of any type, not a phone. Windows, Android,and every other op system saves and shares your work in any program with the "mother ship" (software developers and hosts). Information security requires me to keep it in my head mostly. Kind of ironic that I claim to have answers that damage security, but i also am highly aware of that insecurity already existing by other means.

The math works. I already went through the doing challenge numbers with Ron Rivest; he just kept moving the bar. There has been one offer on ebay, but that person had no backing or ability to solve the problem, so i turned him down and blocked him. All of the countries/universities/companies who could do something discreetly with this problem have already been notified. Ron Rivest just emailed me and said "don't worry about it". Eh, no fun solving problems that are too troublesome; nobody want to pay either, but they sure want me to "share". There is actually enough in the ebay listing to work out the final methods, for those wgo understand the subject matter well.
