Hash: SHA1 Well, I don't know, but I do know that as technology advances, so
does the technology to fool it. :) So, as encryption advances so does anti-encryption. And
as
anti-encryption advances so does encryption. It is all just like the dance of life that happense every day in the natural world, only it's all being done by humans, rather than natural evolution. However long it takes for these new machines to crack one
single
encrypted file, it will still take long enough that new encryption algorithms will be writen to replace the old ones before any real damage can be done by the crackers. I'm confident of that. If you encrypt all of your data, and messages, regardless of how important or unimportant it is, then that would give the computers a great deal more work to do, wich would take a great deal more time. :) Current best technology is at least 10 times better than what I
have
now, so, I am way behind. :) On Fri, 13 Apr 2001 19:09:51 +1200 "David McNab"

Has anyone worked out what order of magnitude of calculations
is
required to derive the CHK of an encrypted file? Any idea of how long it would take, say, an Athlon/Intel 1GHz CPU?
Or A high-end Cray? What about other cracking - eg deriving the private key to match
an
SVK/SSK public key? And how hard would it be for large agencies eg FBI, CIA,
Chinese
Intelligence, NSA, MI5, IRS etc to do this? Just curious.
