I would think that any encrypted system out there today is nearly
impossible to crack since it can only be done via brute force (ie -
guessing) and the compute power required just isn't accessible to
nearly everyone. Even the 50 cpu example you cite, is insignificant
if they use a 4096 key (which certainly is not unreasonable).

very few voice encryption systems use more than a 128 bit key. with
bruteforce attack a 128 bit key is certainly doable with a 50 cpu
distributed attack. should take about two weeks......


Me been there, done that.......

You really don't know what you're talking about. The distributed.net
project just cracked a 64-bit encryption using hundreds of thousands of
computers over several years. You're not going to crack anything with 50
CPUs and two weeks.
