NODE e07c3c7bDistributed Key Breaking

Just as a quick thought - given the prevelance of Web Browsers - has
anyone considered writing a Java Applet that would could run key space
searches and factoring in an easily distributed manner.
This would seem to be a 'reasonable' way to gain access to more CPU power
- even though the Java code would not be as efficient as a native app.
Perhaps as a supplement to the more 'traditional' methods that have been
used in the past.
Regards,
Mark

Interesting idea.

And a "reasonable" way to get people who aren't interested in
helping to break keys, by doing so ---- every time somebody
hits your webpage, they get held up for, say 3 minutes, to do
a little keybreaking of their own.
