[W]e report on the first physical demonstration of a fault-based security attack of a complete microprocessor system running unmodified production software: we attack the original OpenSSL authentication library running on a SPARC Linux system implemented on FPGA, and extract the system’s 1024-bit RSA private key in approximately 100 hours.
Yeah, but given that the majority of PCs are infected with malware, I bet some less scrupulous person could have a botnet that cracks RSA keys in a matter of hours. Wouldn't surprise me if it already exists.
