Alright, I'm asking for no other reason than the fact that I'm curious. I don't believe with any sort of existing hardware would this be possible, but you know how you have checksums\file hashes right?
Would it be possible, in theory, to decrypt this hash into a program, image, or what have you? Also at what point in time would you think we'd have powerful enough hardware to achieve this to the point where downloading a hash of a 3 GB program would be more viable than say downloading at 5 MBps?
I'm just curious and it's a ludicrous idea.
