Hi Folks,

I hate to bother you with what I consider a dumb question, but I'm trying to give a person the benefit of my doubts. There's a person on a legal forum that I participate in that claims that 3DES has been broken/cracked. However, he has not provided any documentation to the effect as his "time at present is limited and valuable". He claims that "the specifics were already posted on this and several other similar forums". Other than Ross Anderson and his students extracting a 3DES key from an IBM4758, has 3DES been in fact broken?

Thank you,
Aram Perez

otherwise is seriously misinformed. I'm sure others will chime
in. --Perry]
