I see in the Toronto Star that someone's offering $1 million (probably
Canadian $, which is still a lot of money) to anyone who can crack
their
elliptic curve algorithm.
If I had a tool that could crack encryption algorithms in "minutes", I

I'd be going for the money...
The following site has the latest information on this. I haven't heard
from Robert in over a week. I think the spooks at the NSA in the US
heard about what he was doing and sadly he has been disappeared. ;-)
