Not really clear what encryption they're on about, but I'd be impressed if its SSL. It strikes me as odd that two keys which work together to encrypt and decrypt data are so remote from each other that you couldn't get one from the other.

I tried to reverse a SHA1 hashcode one lazy Saturday, obviosuly not the original value but any value which would produce the hash. Didn't manage it. Frown | :(

Without looking too closely, that looks like a database where they've got a lot of hashes (43 billion) presumably generated by hashing lots of values. If that's the case I'd expect it to be useless because 43 billion is a pin-point subset of all possible values.

My thinking when I tried to work it in reverse is because the method was iteratitive if I could just come up with a single value on each reverse iteration I'd be able to eventually get back to a starting point. That works, but the problem is the starting point is invalid. I think they've thought this through!

Not surprised!

Then all you need to do is sprinkle a little salt into the equation and your task has just been made harder. Even with huge rainbow tables at your disposal for standard mechanisms it takes a long time.

Quote:
"Project Bullrun deals with NSA's abilities to defeat the encryption used in specific network communication technologies. Bullrun involves multiple sources, all of which are extremely sensitive." The document reveals that the agency has capabilities against widely used online protocols, such as HTTPS, voice-over-IP and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), used to protect online shopping and banking.

But I bet it must be from Dr. Who. Although it's TARDIS and not a phone, the quote must be from there. Roll eyes | :rolleyes:
