These are our special projects

Why? - Distributed Network's RC5-64 bit challenge.

The privacy that we all enjoy, through encryption, every time we make a secure transaction on the internet is thanks in part to this project.

How? - Encryption is a method of scrambling the data that we send over any network medium. This is seen by the Government as a military tactic, and thus we are governed as to what type of encryption methodology and the strength. The nice folks at www.distributed.net has come up with a way for all of us to work towards proving or disproving the efficacy of various encryption methodologies and their respective encryption strengths. This is done by installing a non-intrusive, low priority program that runs mathematical computations in efforts of decrypting the secret message.

Reward? - Yes, there is a purse of monies to the winning team, and to the winning individual, as well as to www.distributed.net for their efforts in implementing the mechanisms in place.
