Hi,

I just wanted to know the current cryptographic status of both RSA and RC4.

I note that they are still in use in SSL with browsers.

Firefox uses AES for the asymmteric encryption, but IE7 still uses RC4.

W.r.t RSA, I seem to remember some talk about a break through in factoring,
but I was hoping a current cryptographer around here could give a quick
summary.

Thanks!
