Many cryptographers felt that DES, which was a 56-bit standard, was <br /> too easily broken. Computer scientists and industry software experts wanted the <br /> U.S. to be able to use and export stronger cryptography. The government <br /> resisted, claiming that more robust cryptography would allow terrorists, child <br /> pornographers, and drug traffickers to better hide their illicit activities.&quot; <br /> &quot;In January of 1997, a company called RSA Data Security launched a contest that <br /> challenged DES. RSA wrote a secret message, encrypted it using DES, and promised <br /> a $10,000 prize to anyone who could decrypt the message, or break the code that <br /> hid it. Responding to the challenge and ultimately winning the prize was a group <br /> of programmers, computer scientists, and technology enthusiasts who organized <br /> themselves into a loose-knit consortium called DESCHALL (for the DES Challenge). <br /> They successfully decoded RSA's secret message using tens of thousands of <br /> computers all across the U.S. and Canada linked together via the Internet in an <br /> unprecedented distributed supercomputing effort. Using a technique called <br /> &quot;brute-force,&quot; computers participating in the challenge simply began trying <br /> every possible decryption key. There were over 72 quadrillion keys to test.&quot; <br /> Brute Force tells the story of the thousands of volunteers who battled to prove <br /> the aging standard for data encryption was too weak and to wrestle strong <br /> cryptography from the control of the U.S. government. Matt Curtin, one of the <br /> leaders of DESCHALL, explains how DESCHALL broke RSA's secret message and <br /> demonstrated to the U.S. governments - and in fact to the world-wide business <br /> and technology communities - the need for stronger, publicly tested <br /> cryptography. <br /> <br /> Table of Contents<br /> Forward <br /> 1 Working late 1<br /> 2 Keeping secrets 3<br /> 3 Data encryption standard 11<br /> 4 Key length 23<br /> 5 Discovery 37<br /> 6 RSA crypto challenges 41<br /> 7 Congress takes note 49<br /> 8 Supercomputer 57<br /> 9 Organizing DESCHALL 63<br /> 10 Needle in a haystack 75<br /> 11 Spreading the word 77<br /> 12 The race is on 85<br /> 13 Clients 91<br /> 14 Architecture 97<br /> 15 Progress 113<br /> 16 Trouble 121<br /> 17 Milestones 127<br /> 18 Gateways 135<br /> 19 Network 139<br /> 20 Download 141<br /> 21 Short circuit 151<br /> 22 DESCHALL community 159<br /> 23 Proposal 163<br /> 24 In the lead 165<br /> 25 Recruiting 169<br /> 26 Threats 175<br /> 27 Overdrive 189<br /> 28 Distributed 199<br /> 29 An obstacle 207<br /> 30 Export 213<br /> 31 Getting word out 215<br /> 32 Salvos in the crypto wars 229<br /> 33 New competition 235<br /> 34 Netlag 239<br /> 35 Terminal velocity 241<br /> 36 Duct tape 249<br /> 37 Showdown in the Senate 255<br /> 38 Strong cryptography makes the world a safer place 259<br /> 39 Aftermath 267<br /> 40 Staying the course 271<br /> 41 In retrospect 275<br /> <br /> Product Details<br /> <br /> * ISBN: 0387201092<br /> * ISBN-13: 9780387201092<br /> * Format: Hardcover, 291pp<br /> * Publisher: Springer-Verlag New York, LLC<br /> * Pub.
