Supercomputers, Distributed processing, et al... by imperito 2003-01-11 20:51:28
In reference to a similar discussion elsewhere, we have all these advancements in technology, and Moore promises more, how long will public key crypto be viable?

I mean existing supercomputers, if they were put to such use, could probably break modern RSA keys in a viable time period. And they are only going to get faster and more readily available as time goes on...

What do yall think?
