In 1994, I remember a certain high profile internet founder (D.Phil, D.Sc and 
member of the (UK) Royal Society) privately arguing the prevailing NSA/GCHQ 
anti-crypto propoganda line of the day : that DES was fine for e-commerce 
because addressing the heat emitted by a DES key Cracker (conformed of a 100k 
dedicated micros with custom DES logic) was a really hard, cost-prohibitive 
engineering problem to solve (here on Earth).
 
Im still looking for someone to solve "peter's power problem": take a common or 
garden commercial reel  (hot off the atmel line, with 50k plastic-packaged Die) 
of 50k micard-powered micros with a 16bit crypto coprocessor, subject it "as a 
reel" to suitable mifare reader that can power and address 50k devices, and 
ensure the reel doesnt generate so much internal heat that the computer destoys 
itself. Presumably, one simply stufs a lot of such reels on a schoolbus sized 
satellite, and computes away merrily in orbit...? (once one uses 
spacerad-capable materials)
