This is true on current technology,but MIT, US Govt., England
etc. etc. are working on quantom computers that can break DES in
a few min. How much computer power do these governments have?
Way beyond terahertz, but have they hit petahertz?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3des has not been broken. Check www.distributed.net if you'd like
to be
including in any encrytion breaking project they have running. I don't
think they are attempting 3des as of right now, as the theoretical
time
it would take to crack it is way beyond any computers that are
currently
in existance. I think it's still at something like a million years using
every computer currently made. =)
