Sure you can. To brute-force a 128-bit RSA key would require you to check every prime number between two and 10**19. There are in the neighborhood of ten quadrillion of them. You could break a 128-bit RSA key for under $100 of computation on an Amazon cloud instance. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
