Subject: Re: RAR early reject

Hey that's great!

May I borrow it for my project? I think that check can even be done in
OpenCL provided that we do AES decryption on GPU. This would eliminate
needless memory transfers and host-side checks. To further improve it,
2-level host checks can be implemented, first against prebuffered initial
chunk from the file, then the next one against the whole packed file which
involves file i/o.

Regards
