Re: What do they expect? Encryption is of course going to be the MAFIAA's downfall. As the cat and mouse game gets more sophisticated, and the "pirates" find better ways of bypassing or circumventing the filters, they are going to need more processing power. Eventually, the encryption will require the same amount of CPU power the NSA uses; in some ways, the encryption itself has already reached NSA grade.

where the hell have you been? cracking 256 bit RSA is no sweat, even i could right a program to crack it on my e8400 machine and break in a reasonalbe amount of time.
i'd suggest you should use 1024/RSA atleast or 2048/RSA, but using RSA for encrypting lots of data is just stupid. use something like blowfish or AES256. |

| Let's not forget something here...
This encryption cracking would have to be done on the fly for it to be of any use. By the time you crack it the data transfer may have already completed.
Of course, you could store the packets for later analysis, but that is not reasonable either.
In other words to filter/flag all pirated content going over an ISP's network would take amounts of processing power far beyond anything that is practical.
Yes, your video card might break some encryptions in a few seconds with it's processing power. But now throw at it all the data flowing over an ISP's pipes and watch even 1000 video cards crumble under the workload.
See what I'm getting at? |
