56 a Bit Short of Secure
The collective crackers of Distributed.net have knocked off
another 56-bit encryption key, this time in just over two
months. The key was developed by CS Communications & Systems,
a system integrator and the fourth-largest French software
producer, which now must make good on its promise to pay
10,000 Euros (US$10,117.64). The Fontenay-aux-Roses, France,
company issued an open challenge in late 1999 to break its
56-bit encryption key.
