Code crackers break 923-bit encryption record | Security & Privacy - CNET News: "pairing-based cryptography of this length was fragile"

"breaking the 923-bit encryption, which is 278-digits, would have been impossible using previous "public key" cryptography; but using pairing-based cryptography, scientists were able to apply identity-based encryption, keyword searchable encryption, and functional encryption."
