Greetings! DESCHALL Version 0.214 is now available in the US and Canada. DESCHALL is a client-server based approach to cracking the RSA DES Challenge. Information about DESCHALL is available at the following Web site: http://www.frii.com/~rcv/deschall.htm As indicated in the above Web page, Michael Paul Johnson has graciously agreed to distribute DESCHALL from his export-controlled North American Crypto Site. [Thanks, MPJ!] At the present time, the server is running at about 2% of capacity. The server can handle a *whole lot* more clients. Clients are available for Linux, FreeBSD, OS/2, Windows 95/NT, and Sparc. [Offers for guest accounts to compile other clients gladly accepted!] Pentium 120MHz clients can test about 600,000 keys per second. Good luck! -- Rocke Verser, rcv@dopey.verser.frii.com
