Interesting. In rsa/dsa cryptography, it's actually trivially easy to break as long as you can guess the keys right. ;-) Of course there are so many possible keys, it's nearly impossible to guess the keys in a lifetime. But if somebody invents something like quantum computing able to perform massively parallel computation, then the ability to guess keys might become a reality... Does ECC rely on the same principle? Anybody could decrypt if only they guessed the keys correctly? _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
