A NEW BOINC project is now up and running:
The tasks are for CUDA v2.0 or higher, so you will only get tasks if you have a compatible GPU.
The Team page is here:

Seems to be another code breaking exercise? Anyone know how the workunits pan out?The purpose of the project is to implement Anderson's attack on A5/1 GSM stream cipher. The attack's idea was described in the early 90's in a mailing group. As we know, it was never implemented in practice before. Anderson's attack belongs to a class of brute-force attacks, so given enough time it extracts a secret key with 100% probability, in contrast to the most popular rainbow tables attack on A5/1, that have success probability around 90%.
