14/07/09: elliptic curve encryption -also used within cryptosms.org- has been successfully broken for keys up to 112 bits with parallel computing of more than 200 PS3s (see http://lacal.epfl.ch/page81774.html). In the latest design of the attack it would have taken 3,5 months of calculating (in real it took longer). cryptosms.org is using a 192 byte key - a size still considered secure. nonetheless, we are considerung bigger keys for future releases.
