Academic papers on GPU password cracking?

Question

Are there any scientific papers or publications on GPU password cracking?

Answer 1

I'm sure a lot of article can be found on the web giving a clear explanation on how to setup a GPU password cracking system, but if you are looking for an academic paper, you can take a look at those reports :

• http://staff.science.uva.nl/~delaat/rp/2010-2011/p11/report.pdf
• http://www.inf.ed.ac.uk/publications/thesis/online/IM100812.pdf
• http://mnsu.academia.edu/KhaiTran/Papers/1559507/GPU_-_accelerated_WPA_PSK_cracking_solutions

I think this blog post (not an academic paper, I admit), is quite complex and very interesting to read : http://mytechencounters.wordpress.com/2011/04/03/gpu-password-cracking-crack-a-windows-password-using-a-graphic-card/

You can also give a look at the Google Scholar page that will list some result regarding your research.
