Rainbow Tables. (or the new ones but I can't remember their name).
Sorry if it's not as sexy as you thought, but I think this could make a pretty big impact in the security community.
- Xcelerate 14y agoThat's an interesting idea. Although, ideally, I'll want a project that requires a supercomputer. Rainbow tables can be created through distributed computing. (I also had the evil idea of seeing how many bitcoin I could generate on Titan, but I don't think the ORNL staff would even find that funny.)

For research!
