The "hashing time per crack" reminds me of the old 48-bit encryption which was mandated to have short, crackable keys. Or even the previous attempt at doing this with the "LEAF". Are you proposing some sort of work function within the crypto enclave? ie you leave the device brute-forcing for a few days and it spits out the key?

The "appreciable time" is going to be subject to constant downward pressure, both politically and technologically.

> political cover to shut down mass surveillance and compromise as unnecessary

Mass surveillance is not going to go away without huge cultural reform of the security services. They don't take concessions.
