However, since Pierrick Gaudry pointed out the weakness of the system and drew attention to its testing, he will receive a reward of one million rubles, provided that no one will be able to hack the system during the next testing on August 21.
Other sources reported that Pierrick hacked the system, as he managed to restore all three secret keys. He has published a command-line script, so anyone can hack the voting system. Therefore internet users repeated the experiment and the calculations took the same amount of time - a little more than 20 minutes. When the private keys are known, decrypting the message becomes a trivial task.
It is interesting to note that before Pierrick published his ..
