"AndrOINC is a boinc project trying to break a 1024 bit RSA key used by Motorola to sign the boot and recovery partitions on the Motorola Milestone. If this key could be broken, we would be able to sign our own boot/recovery images, which would enable us to run custom kernels and recovery images on the Milestone. "

I was wondering if it's actually legal or how legal it is to so blatantly sit there and "hack" a private encryption key? Are we now accomplices in a criminal activity?
