RC5-64 Success
EncryptionPosted by michael on Thursday September 26, @11:38AM
from the only-a-matter-of-time dept.
Peter Trei writes "After over four years of effort, hundreds of thousands of
participants, and millions of cpu-hours of work, Distributed.net has brute
forced the key to RSA Security's 64 bit encryption challenge, winning a
US$10,000 prize. Still outstanding Challenges carry prizes as high as
$200,000. RSA's PR release is here. d.net's site has not yet been updated."
Update: 09/26 16:59 GMT by CN: The good folks over at SlashNET are having a
forum with the distributed.net crew on Saturday at 21:00 UTC. It'll be a
great time to meet some of the people who made this possible.
