Neville suggested I reach out to your mailing list to see if there is interest in the following experimental cryptographic projects.

The Telecom Council of Silicon Valley recently saw the rapid factorization of  semiprimes at Microsoft. http://telecomcouncil.com/blog/news-from-yesterdays-cybersecurity-deep-dive
This email address was provided to see whether there is interest in an experimental track:
The rapid factorization of semiprimes in Integer Factorization Cryptography (IFC) with bisection and volatility testing and a simple prime number dictionary attack.

IFC is already in a critical trap. The recommendations of the NIST for key strengths say 2048 RSA provides only 112 bits of security because there are so many advantages to the hackers. That makes us rationalize processing 256 character numbers with complicated mathematics with such little payoff.

Another possible experimental track could be distributed, dynamic PKI where distributed elements provide security controls to protect the framework.
