If memory serves me right, when was revealed information about Colossus 2 (built in 1940x), it was pretty astonishing that it has computation power as very specialised computation device same as compared generic computation device with Pentium platform running C program which is doing same. So they were equal in solving these specific problem of decrypting messages. Now you can make assumptions what they should have very specialised hardware-based for solving tasks of decrypting AES, etc On Mon, Aug 19, 2013 at 11:14:52AM +0000, Lodewijk andré de la porte wrote:
AES-128 is obviously not secure enough against NSA-type attacks. It works against the random raid of the servers, the exploitative sysadmin and perhaps even the remote exploit in the software. It also allows Google to run storage nodes at a lower security level, which might help them smooth operations.
Nothing there to help against the agencies.
