So can a large FPGA be somehow used to brute force encryption?
I don't really understand electronics to see if a GPU could be faster than a FPGA, but my guess is yes?
It seems that anything that can be programmed is inherently slower than a FPGA equivalent doing the same task.
Does larger enough key size always defeat a FPGA?
I would guess that it becomes power and cost prohibitive for a private company to deliver such possibility, but of course, a large government entity like the NSA might have enough resource to pay for enough FPGA to decrypt most things.
