Complexity: <NP-intermediate> as of 2020:
* expected not to be <NP-complete> because it would imply NP != <Co-NP>: https://cstheory.stackexchange.com/questions/167/what-are-the-consequences-of-factoring-being-np-complete\#comment104849_169
* expected not to be in <P (complexity)> because "could we be that dumb that we haven't found a solution after having tried for that long?

The basis of RSA: <RSA (cryptosystem)>. But not proved <NP-complete>, which leads to:
