-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Just noticed on /. that distributed.net wound up 4 years of intense CPU cycles, by getting the key to RSA's RC5-64 challenge. Distributed.net release: http://www.distributed.net/pressroom/news-20020926.html "On 14-Jul-2002, a relatively characterless PIII-450 in Tokyo returned the winning key to the distributed.net keyservers. The key 0x63DE7DC154F4D03 produces the plaintext output: ~ The unknown message is: some things are better left unread Unfortunately, due to breakage in scripts (dbaker's fault, naturally) on the keymaster, this successful submission was not automatically detected. It sat undiscovered until 12-Aug-2002. The key was immediately submitted to RSA Labs and was verified as the winning key." .g - -- "I look at your tanks, at the snipers, at the whole army, and feel joy. Because I know that these two rooms, in which we are huddled together, are stronger than all this might." - Tawfiq Tirawi -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.0 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQE9kzjcwT+AXPPRTIgRAp0DAKCFFkATGFsZeGZBwH45LTjz7tsmbgCfRWtG /9JbYOtw5OAcGQOL9AZyh4I= =X9e5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
