Distributed computing system which solve an elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem

The paper describes computer system consisting of a central server and a distributed computing system composed of multiprocessor servers using the MPI, computer clusters, computers of the PC and dedicated FPGA units. The field programmable gate array (FPGA) units will be connected to the system through PC. The communication of computational units with the server is realized through Internet and LAN networks. The presented system executes a Pollard rho Parallel Algorithm. The system's efficiency analysis let us estimate the time needed for breaking the ciphers with various key lengths and determine the level of security that they provide.
