I'm not holding my breath that this holds up to any scrutiny. For one thing, the author is refusing in the thread -- multiple times -- to demonstrate his attack. He says we need to wait for the publication of his paper. He also says you can email him and get a pre-publication copy of the paper.
Someone should probably tell him that cellphones and desktops aren't capable of quantum computation yet.
Can it be any more of an obvious scam and/or ramblings of a cryptography kook.
