I can't tell if you are disagreeing with djao or not.

"I can't think of a single respectable academic researcher who thinks that the latest results threaten RSA." -- djao

Does Dan Boneh think that the latest results threaten RSA? Is there a serious argument in favor of that position?

[tptacek]

You seem to be asking two questions that my comment already answered. Yes, I'm citing Boneh as an example of someone who has suggested that Joux may have practical implications on RSA.

[djao]

You are perhaps referring to Boneh's comments at the RSA conference last February. Boneh cited the new attacks in the context of arguing that we should diversify away from RSA and DH. The implication, to me, was one of general caution and urgency. I did not get any sense of RSA itself being specifically threatened.
