- --------------------------------------------------------
Introduction / Assumptions / Notes / Other Observations:
Please refer to my posting, dated 06/06/97, for more information.
Factual data:
Recent DESCHALL keyrate: 5.185 billion keys per second
Recent SolNet keyrate: 2.386 billion keys per second
Recent SGI keyrate: ~2.890 billion keys per second
DESCHALL keyspace complete: 17.653%
Solnet keyspace complete: 10.6595%
SGI keyspace complete: ~20.266%
Results, assuming constant keyrates, and no cooperation:
Expected date of solution: 47 days from now.
Probability that a DESCHALL client will find the key: 58%
Probability that a SolNet client will find the key: 17%
Probability that an SGI client will find the key: 25%
