I remember someone stating that DES had been broken over in the USSR, with a PC, in only a few hours. *IF* my memory serves me right, the algorithm (cluster-something) was published in one of their journals. Also, in the message, probably posted in sci.crypt or comp.os.vms (info-vax), the name of the journal was given. I searched my arhive, but had no luck. Anyone else remembering this? -- Leonard Norrgaard, vinsci@abo.fi, vinsci@finabo.bitnet, +358-21-654474, EET.
