VGTU project@Home/en
Our goal is to persuade scientists to use this kind of computations in their research and to assist them in preparing BOINC applications. We hope that scientific applications from various fields will be attractive to many current and future BOINC community volunteers and this will allow us to accumulate enough computing resources to achieve significant (unachievable otherwise) results.
The VGTU application is a cryptographic application. Information security couldn't be underestimated in our today's world and will become more and more critical in the days ahead. Cryptography is one of the key technologies in achieving it. Constantly growing computational capabilities are imposing more and more strict requirements on cryptography standards, which are the objects constant study and analysis. This application is solving DES Challenge problem. More on DES algorithm and its noticeable history as encryption standard, you can find here. We note that private data are not used for our tests! This project is a continuation of the former known vtu@Home project. After a pause of about a year the project is restartign with a new app in December 2015. |
