There's a later version. > http://www.copacobana.org/ Concerning COPACOBANA, there are now "productized" version of their FPGA and a new version called RIVYERA with a flexible layer of FPGAs. http://www.sciengines.com/products/computers-and-clusters.html On this page: http://www.sciengines.com/solutions/crypto.html They claim to do 119k million keys per sec for AES-128 on a 128 FPGAs RIVYERA model. This information could be used as a weak basis for "estimating" how custom-built FPGA device performs. -- -- Alexandre Dulaunoy (adulau) -- http://www.foo.be/ -- http://www.foo.be/cgi-bin/wiki.pl/Diary -- "Knowledge can create problems, it is not through ignorance -- that we can solve them" Isaac Asimov _______________________________________________ cryptography mailing list [email protected] http://lists.randombit.net/mailman/listinfo/cryptography
