A Crypto-Nerd's Imagination
XKCD shows the reality of encrypted laptops. Text below. Cartoon at the link. [gsc]
A Crypto-Nerd's Imagination:
Goon A: His laptop's encrypted. Let's build a million-dollar cluster to crack it.
Goon B: No good! It's 4096-bit RSA.
Goon A: Blast! Our evil plan is foiled!
What Would Actually Happen:
Goon A: His laptop's encrypted. Drug him and hit him with this $5 wrench until he tells us the password.
Goon B: Got it.
