If they ever build such a computer (or 1.000.000 of them) what would that mean for
today's key lengths ?
I am curious how long a computer capable of a septillion operations per second would
take to crack one 128 bit or 256 bit key.
Or a RSA 1024 or 2048 bit key for that matter ...

take a peek at the chapter on key lengths in Schneier's Applied
Cryptography. it is an entertaining read. in short, he makes the
