RC5-64 HAS BEEN SOLVED!
On 14-Jul-2002, a relatively characterless PIII-450 in Tokyo returned the winning key to the
distributed.net keyservers. The key 0x63DE7DC154F4D03 produces the plaintext
output:
The unknown message is: some things are better left unread
Unfortunately, due to breakage in scripts (dbaker's fault, naturally) on the keymaster,
this successful submission was not automatically detected. It sat undiscovered until 12-Aug-2002.
The key was immediately submitted to RSA Labs and was verified as the winning key.
